Why don't you get yourself?

You're sweet and cute and kind.

You're very romantic, truth.

Cuddle, snuggle, and close.

You say you hate romance,

Why are you dating me?

Why do you doubt yourself?

You really are very sweet.

Note that the name pentameter means five "metrical feet" (specifically five iambs). So, it should be: `X `X `X `X `X
