I'm in like with a crazy person

Sometimes it feels like I only fall for the crazy ones. That can be okay, it adds variety and spontaneity, and there's never a dull moment.
The girl I'm into now is into me, too, but has reservations that I don't fully understand yet. I've written her two songs. Here's one, the other is just for her:

My Kind of Crazy

Haven't had the best of luck
Finding a girl for life
Each one ends up with something wrong
Don't make a very good wife

Well, I kissed a lot of toads
On my way to my Miss Right
Thought I'd ever be alone
Till I kissed you that night

(Chorus)
Not sayin' that you're perfect
Not sayin' that you're the best
Just sayin' I sure like you
Better than the rest
You're my kind of crazy

And we both got our troubles
We've both had broken hearts
True, I really don't know you
What I do is a really good start

I ain't sayin' it'll be easy
Baby, that's the truth
But I know it'll be worth it
So long as I'm with you

Not sayin' that you're perfect
Not sayin' that you're the best
Just sayin' I sure like you
Better than the rest
You're my kind of crazy

(Bridge)
Well, you went and pushed me away
'Fore I could shove you first
If that's a relationship to you
It hasn't been my worst

Just gimme the chance I'm asking for
The chance to treat you right
I promise it won't last
For only just one night

Not sayin' that you're perfect
Not sayin' that you're the best
Just sayin' I sure like you
Better than the rest
You're my kind of crazy

I kissed you that night
It hasn't been my worst
You're my kind of crazy.

Do not stand for this ourage! Do not take their job without a real wage. You may be able to do the job without the benefits, but don't do it without the pay, or companies will take serious advantage of us.
And this isn't the only one of them out there! I saw another very similar on craigslist that paid 11-14 and wanted even more. Tell them to piss off until they realize they can't do the job without us and they have to pay us a fair wage. Retail stores are upping their pay to 10-15$ for stocking shelves and cashing people out. Tech jobs are getting their asses handed to them by retail!
Ok, rant over.
