The Kind I Like

Is it wrong that the kind I like 
     Is tall dark and handsome
        Am I too high in my standards
         I mean really their not standards
           Their just a summary of many boy friends 
                and crushes
                All worthy of crowns 
               For their fine selves
                  I like em dark 
                    Nice smiles
                     Dressing to kill 
                       basketball stars
                        Able to keep up with my intelligence
                         and still keep it real hood
                           I love them funny
                               Comedian style
                                Muscular and in shape
                                      Sweet and confident 
                                       Pretty much that category
                                              Am I to shallow?
                                             Or to demanding?
                                              Are my standards to high?
                                                You don't think I can find a man  
                                                 Like that? 
                                                  Well don't tell the world
                                                    But I've found a spot where 
                                                      all they dish out is the absolute
                                                                      Best 
                                           I'm in heaven so I guess my standards 
                                                 Have to be high 
                                                     It's just what i'm used to      
                                                        Please don't get mad
