Don't give me that!



Oh please!
Don't give me that!
I dont' want to hear
that cold, tired crap
you shovel out.

Dry up your tears
(looking into the mirror)
and get in the shower
and wash the night
the lies
and the slime of him
down the drain.

He didn't do anything
you didn't let him do.
He twisted your heart
and tickled your ruffels
and you let those little knees
dance left and right
to hear those words you knew
were bald faced lies.

So please
Don't lie to us
to yourself
when you settle for
bumping uglies
unstead of holding out
for the real thing.

If you really want love
(looking in the mirror)
how about starting with me?
When we learn to be good at that
there won't be anymore
mornings like this!
