She may look pretty
Her voice may be divine
But you have no idea what she is inside
Don’t go to her because you won’t come back fine

Her voice is a reel
And you are the fish
You’re her next meal
Be careful! She’s going to lure you in

Close your ears
She’s just a Siren
She doesn’t love you
She never will
She just wants to hurt you
To play with your heart
To manipulate you
Those are her intentions
Right from the start
If a real women is what you want
Well, hey boy, I’m right here

I thought about all the times guys I liked chose girls that don't really care about them over people who can actually like them. I hope that people will make better choices about who they like.

I love how you compared those girls to a siren! My favorite part is the stanza about the fish, and I also like the last few lines. Good job!

Very nice! And I've certainly been there before... I especially liked the part about the fish :
Her voice is a reel
And you are the fish
You’re her next meal
Be careful! She’s going to lure you in

 

I thought that was really fresh and clever!
