The Perfect Fella

I'm going to be honest
I'm never easily pleased
The man who wants to take my hand
Has to live with being teased

My perfect guy would have to be
Someone who is never afraid
Willing to love me forever
Even when my youth does fade

I want a man who'll make me smile
When inside I feel like dying
I want him to make me laugh
Through all the tears I'm crying

Bad boys are far too tempting
Bikers are a good start
But this bad boy better be careful
That he doesn't break my heart

I will admit I like adventure
I hope my guy is the same
Willing to take a risk with me
Willing to share a name

Being a bit odd is part of me
I need him to show respect
Never ever trying to change me
I'm not an item to inspect

He has to always be there for me
Ready to catch me when I fall
And while looks aren't that important
I'd like it if he was tall...

Brave and strong, but also gentle
Supports me in all that I do
Someone I could rely upon
Together we always get through

I like a guy who is quite smart
Intelligent conversations are a must
I like someone who is always honest
Someone that I can trust

I like a guy with a tough exterior
But inside he's quiet and kind
Someone willing to stand up for others
Why's he so hard to find?

I'd like a guy who loves me for me
I can take care of myself
If I choose a guy it's for personality
Not for looks or wealth

If he is willing to cherish me
And love me for the rest of my life
Only then can he ask me nicely
If I would be his wife...

PS: I have just reread this to myself and i have arrived at the conclusion that I'm obviously far too bloody picky!
