Taffy

Why do I still pout? I pray to be content with all these goodly things I’ve found.

You fit like a glove but still I push you away. Why do I do that my love?

Can’t you tell that it scares me, when you say you will do anything for me,

And I can eat you like a salt water taffy? and I melt in the way you adore me.

Boy I told you I’m crazy.

So you can stay but I never ‘made’ you stay .

It can’t be worse that the cigarettes and drugs you smoke.

And I can stay but you never ‘made’ me stay.

Could I, should I, apologize for leaving?

Leaving, like onion peeling, is really no fun

Can’t you tell that it scares me, when you say you will do anything for me,

And I can eat you like a salt water taffy? and I melt in the way you adore me.

Boy I told you I’m leaving.

So you can stay but I never ‘made’ you stay .

It can’t be worse that the cigarettes and drugs you smoke.

And I can stay but you never ‘made’ me stay.

Can you tell what you’re frowning about, give me a warning.

We both know that that ‘I love you’ didn’t count yesterday morning.

Do you remember what I told you? I said I wouldn’t leave gently used.

Take me home or put me down now.

So you can stay but I never ‘made’ you stay .

It can’t be worse that the cigarettes and drugs you smoke.

And I can stay but you never ‘made’ me stay.
