"No Dating For Me" at Mr. Gaylord Pageant 2013

Steven Thorn wins "Best Talent" at the 2013 Mr. Gaylord Pageant with his hit song, "No Dating For Me."


"No Dating For Me"
By Steven Thorn (c) 2013

Do you know what it's like?
To have a mom like mine?
She said no dating for me
Until I'm 30 or I've received a Ph.D

I said, "Mom, what about in high school?"
She said, "Steven, that just wouldn't be cool."
I said, "Mom what about in college?"
She said, "Steven, you'll be too focused on knowledge."

No dating for me
Until I'm 30 or I've received a Ph.D
No wedding for me
Unless a girl and I just pick up and flee
Which is actually my dad's advice to me

Well, you might think it's all for fun
Until you saw my mom's loaded shotgun
Trained upon some unsuspecting girls
Who had just stopped to admire my curls

While my heart has fallen many times
My mom manages to keep me in line
She just won't let me get over the wall
I'm like the princess who can't go to the ball

No dating for me
Until I'm 30 or I've received a Ph.D
No wedding for me
Unless a girl and I just pick up and flee
Which is actually my dad's advice to me

Mommy wants to keep me at home
She deletes girl contacts on my phone
No conversations with pretty girls at all
Because Mommy always stalks the posts on my Facebook wall

Well I know that I'm supercute
But I just want to avoid a dispute
The gift of singleness has been given to me
Until I'm 30 or I've received a Ph.D

No dating for me
Until I'm 30 or I've received a Ph.D
No wedding for me
Unless a girl and I just pick up and flee
Which is actually my dad's advice to me

...and sadly I don't want a Ph.D
