A Song About You
(c) Flopsweat 2016
Verse 1
I've been with you a few months now, but it seems like twice as long,
My life feels like a record album, filled with country songs
If I listened to it backward, well, I guess I just might hear
I sober up, get back my truck and my money, and maybe you'd disappear
Verse 2
There's always some drama with your so-called friends, your mother, or your job
Sometimes you set your sights on how I'm a lazy, no-good slob
I do my best to make you happy, but it's just no use to try,
I used to love the sound of your voice, now all I want to hear you say is goodbye
Chorus
The next time someone writes a song about you, it'll have to be somebody else
Or maybe they can just use this one, 'cause I won't need it any more myself
I'd tell you to look on the bright side, But you'd never hear a word that I said
The whinin', complainin' like to drive me insane; I think I may be better off dead
Middle 8:
You don't know how to be happy; seems like gloom is your middle name
When you start to moan, I wish you'd leave me alone,
The last thing I need's to be a part of your games
(Instrumental)
1/2 Verse:
I do my best to make you happy, but it's just no use to try,
I used to love the sound of your voice, Now all I want to hear you say is goodbye
1/2 Chorus
The next time someone writes a song about you, it'll have to be somebody else
Or maybe they can just use this one, 'Cause I won't need it any more myself
