Used-To-Dream (for women)

 I used to dream about a man who would wear elegant clothes, but you came along in your old jeans with a rip in them.

I used to dream about a man who would take me to expensive places to eat but you came along and we went to Mc Donald's, dutch treat.

I used to dream about a man who would send me dozens of flowers on my birthday, but you came along and gave me three wilted dandelions.

I used to dream about a man who would carry me off on a white horse, but you came along and fell off your bike.

I used to dream about a man who would kiss me passionately, but you came along and the first time you kissed me, our braces locked.

I used to dream about many things, now I just dream about how lucky I am you came along.
