Failed men

Some women love failed men.
They need a man who needs a place to stay
Five dollars for a sandwich
Or a ride from the bus stop

Some women love failed men.
Those who have had one too many wives
More kids than a field got corn
Wild oats

Some women love failed men
They think love is authentic when he has jailtime tattoos
When he remembers his number 218456-45
When he takes pride in how many times he has been shot

A one woman man
with a good job
a place to live
planned children
and a clean record
are ridiculed and passed over
as being slightly feminine
or nerdy because they are not needy

Like I said, some women can only love failed me.
