Yankee Doodle


I called your house, your mother said
that you ran for the border
the last thing you gave to me
was a restraining order
i can take a subtle hint
you found a replacement
are you mad because i tried
to lock you in the basement?
There was a time i thought that love
was all about forgiving
now it seems i'm just upset
that you're still out there living
I went to your house last night
but you weren't home then
so instead i took a knife
and bound and gagged your boyfriend
i don't think i'm out of line
you're the one with problems
if you'd ever let me in
we'd be okay to solve them
I have such respect for you
and though you deserve it
either say yes to my touch
on your skin, or i'll burn it.
