TIRED!

I said no

Not maybe

Not tomorrow

Certainly not yes

It simply means no.

How many times do I have to say this?

It doesn’t matter if you buy flowers

It doesn’t matter if you use your sweetest voice

It doesn’t matter how charming you are

I still don’t feel you.

You say I will never know if I am missing out on a good thing

Well I know one thing

That good thing you talk about

It ain’t you

It doesn’t exist

Try that line on the girl I saw you trying to charm yesterday.

You talk about wedding bells

You talk about having kids

You talk about making a home

All I see is a dude trying to score

If you didn’t interest me yesterday

Then you certainly won’t today.

Your eyes tell a different story

I see the way you look at me

I see the way you lick your lips

I see the way you look at my curves

You have that same look just before the kill.

I know hunting is in your blood

You won’t stop until you get what you want

Even the lion knows when it’s been beat

Get gone and stay gone

I ain’t interested

My no definitely means no.
