Get Out! Scat!

You say that you love me

That I’m the only one

Whispering sweet promises

As you motion me to come near

Giving me worthless presents

Of distracting, needless baubles

And brassy glass-studded bling

You swear we were fated

Calling me your true love

With a lecherous grin

You whistle a tune to lure me in

All the while, you are hoping

I overlook what lies beneath

You think I’m a fool

It shows in every move you do

I’m not blind, all your faces I see

So clean your ears out

Make sure you hear me straight

I know the secrets that you keep

Small towns don’t hold mysteries long

Well, I’m no doormat

I’m no patsy either

There’s a reason I’m walking away

A person can only stand so much

I’m tired of all your double standards

You’re full of bullshit

So take the hint

Go on, get away from me

I don’t want your loving

I’m too old for the fickle kind

I’m tired of jumping through hoops

For a one-sided love

Like a faucet tap

Your love runs hot and cold

You don’t need my love

Loving yourself enough for the two of us

So don’t tell me how you love me

I’ve learned to love myself

I’ll find true love

Without the judgment you bring

Thinking you slipped one past me

You forget you talk in your sleep

It's a small town

You know you have to follow the rules

But you think you’re so sleek and sly

Calling yourself pretty fly for a white guy

You think you’re pretty sneaky

All the while, you take no notice

Of what you’ve destroyed between us

My trust in you was lost long ago

You were so busy showing your ass

To even notice the change

I’m tired of all your double standards

You’re full of bullshit

So take the hint

Go on, get away from me

So get out

Scat
