Checkmate

“Let me be your man,” they say. “No thanks,” is my usual reply. They proceed to ask why, to which I respond - “I'm not going to sit around and be played again. You just want peace of mind knowing that you’ve got a ‘good girl’ tucked away at home and representing you well when she goes out in public, while you’re out there doing whatever, and whoever you want. Be straight up. You don’t really want to be my man, you just want me to be your woman!”
