Dead in No Time

You better not be reciting poetry to me because Iʼll probably just think youʼre a freak
But if you feel the need to get the point across to me you better
Put it in a melody and sing it to me, put it in a melody and sing it to me

Why on earth do they think saying go away means stay
Why do they keep hanging around
Why do I say no and they interpret it a maybe, baby
I think youʼre good looking but youʼre just not for me
And I play no second fiddle, sugar I play for keeps

Every good boy does fine till he turns five
Then he starts developing a crush on girls with pretty eyes
You fight them but it excites them and they just canʼt get enough so
Iʼll tell you what you gotta do, what you gotta do, you gotta
Kill him with kindness, kill him with kindness
If I keep this up heʼll be dead in no time

Mom, I canʼt stand her she thinks sheʼs all that
Sheʼs like a ring you find in all those boxes of the Cracker Jacks
Sheʼs shiny on the outside but if you keep her around sheʼll
Turn your fingers green, sheʼs rotten at the seams
Her attitude will make you want to pull out your hair and scream, scream, scream

My very educated momma told me that you canʼt fight her fire with gasoline, you gotta
Kill her with kindness, kill her with kindness
If I keep this up sheʼll be dead in no time

You think the conceptʼs quite uncanny
I won't be hurting myself any
My fighting back could get real lazy
That could benefit me greatly
My frustration line is getting hazy
Iʼm a ticking time bomb, baby
You think that Iʼm lying, try me
