Used to watch me waking up each morning

Should I really beg you for some earnest affection?

You don't feel like talking, go ahead, slam another door

Said see you later but I never do

All my love ain't good enough for you

If I ever wanna be ignored

Used to touch me like nobody could

Now you touch me only 'cause you should

You're a kid and I'm a week old toy

You don't wanna play with anymore

My silly, silly little boy

Maybe buy me flowers on a special occasion
