You terrify me, we’ve still not kissed, and yet I’ve cried You got too close, and I pushed and pushed hoping you’d bite So, I could run, run and that I did but through the dust You saw those teeth marks, they weren’t all yours

Oh, I’ve never played a fair game I’ve always had the upper hand But what good is intellect and airplay If I can’t respect any man? I want to play a fair game I want to play a fair game
