If everyone wants you, 
Can have you, taste you,
Are you really caviar or a lobster
That's easily accessible and attainable? 

Bragging like the town belongs to you,
Boasting like you're the heir to royalty 
When in reality you're merely a projection 
Of your illusion, showcasing a reflection that's 
Made up.
Talking about how irresistible you're,
Talking about how you can get any man or woman 
You want with a wink,
If that's the case, why are you alone?
Why are you by yourself? 
Are you really caviar if you've lobster tail 
Or are you pretending? 
If everyone wants you, 
Why don't they keep you or get you?  

Irresistible enough for everyone's eyes 
To get a piece of you,
Are you a painting in a museum or 
An auction piece at a table for them to bid on. 
Head in the clouds, halo on the wings,
Is it really classy to have a person everyone can have,
Easily acquire or attain.
Is it really sexy to have all eyes ogle and linger over you 
Eating you up like you're a well done steak; 
Or is it sexy to be exclusive? 
To be loyal; to be that one person's, 
That has you and no one else can come close or touch you.
Even if they stare or seduce, is it not sexy to have only 
One person's attention - they've yours, you've theirs,
And no one else exists ; 
To be a one individual person ; 
A one man woman – one man woman,
Tell me is that not having the real caviar, the real deal,
The rarity? 
To me it is, and perhaps I'm old school or conservative 
In regards to romance, but would it end you to court me? 

Would the earth burn up if you were to court me? 
Take things slow, be a one woman or one man woman,
To be each theirs exclusively, to be loyal. 
Is loyalty a fossil fuel – is it scarce? 
Does it no longer exist, is it uncool to be loyal?
Is it uncool to keep your word, 
Keep your promises, to standby what you say,
To match your actions to words, is that unrealistic in today's world,
In our generation? 
You tell me, they tell me; everyone tells me that they want me.
They want to have me - for reasons either sexual or for 
Partnership, rarely a genuine relation. 
They say they want me, the guys and girls they'd worship 
Me; worship not out of adoration or Devotion but 
For gain and fulfillment of wants,
And I don't want that, I don't want it if it's superficial or artificial. 

Confession and proposals; 
Rushing in heat of moment, it's always- 
'I like you' to a 'hookup with me' 
Or 'go out with me' or 'have $ex with me' 
Never a - hi I really like you, because I admire or like this—
Never a- I want to get to know you better, take things slow, 
Always a "You're so accomplished, such a Trophy prize gf material", 
Never a- I want to build a mutual understanding and take it forth. 
Always fastpaced, never slow, they call me a prude and 
An old school romantic just for saying no to erotic wants 10 
Mins into a relationship. 
No I'm not a hookup person, no I don't rush things, 
No I don't want to jump and do each other right away,
No I want to go slow; 
My body is sacred and not everyone deserves acccess to me.
Court me, take it slow,
If you like me, tell me - communicate clearly, let me know. 
I don't do mixed signals and red flags,
Just because sindoor is red doesn't mean that I'll entertain wrong.

Court me, take it slow, communicate.
And if that makes me a caviar in a sea of lobsters, 
Let It be, I'd accept it.
Because, if everyone wants you, 
Can have you, taste you,
Are you really caviar or a lobster
That's easily accessible and attainable?  
Irresistible enough for everyone's eyes 
To get a piece of you,
Are you an auction piece at a table for them to bid on? 
Head in the clouds, halo on the wings,
Is it really classy to have a person everyone can have?
Easily acquire or attain? 
Is it sexy to have all eyes linger over you 
Eating you up like you're a well done steak; 
Or is it sexy to be exclusive? 
To be loyal; to be that one person's, 
That has you and no one else can come close or touch you.
Even if they stare or seduce, is it not sexy to have only 
One person's attention - they've yours, you've theirs,
And no one else exists ; 
To be a one individual person. 
Tell me is that not having the real caviar, the real deal,
The rarity?
