She often costs more than she’s worth<\/p>\n
Yet other times the greatest show on earth<\/p>\n
She rides me constantly when I do wrong<\/p>\n
Then plays up to me like a carnival song<\/p>\n
You never know where her mood will swing<\/p>\n
She’ll close up shop and say it’s time to leave<\/p>\n
Other times she likes to clown around<\/p>\n
With the biggest of smiles that lights up the town<\/p>\n
I love her so I must confess<\/p>\n
Though I never know what’s coming next<\/p>\n
She has certainly been a roller coaster ride<\/p>\n
A house of mirrors with no one more confused than I<\/p>\n
Keeps me laughing and guessing wherever we are<\/p>\n
My girlfriend the amusement park<\/p>\n
