Lyrics

Read the instructions before you touch me
Signature on delivery
It’s up to you to decide, you to decide
No, it’s up to me to decide, me to decide

To compromise for what?
For who?
For why should I love you when I could love myself?
You must think about that one again

You must think
I’m like ink
You must share

I must blink
I can’t shrink
I don’t care

Stupid I am
Stupid you are
To think I’m coming back this time

Stupid I am
Stupid you are
To think I’m coming back this time
It’s really not that far

Fetched like a dog
Stroked like an ego
Thick like fog

I’m not familiar
With the words
That I heard
From my window last night

Compromise?

Should I shave my pubes?
Not use lube
Push my needs away
And never get my say

I’ve got a 98 percent return rate
But you’re not one

I’ll not talk, listen, and nod
Wake me up poke and prod me

Stupid I am
Stupid you are
To think I’m coming back this time

Stupid I am
Stupid you are
To think I’m coming back this time
It’s really not that far

Fetched like a dog
Stroked like an ego
Thick like fog

If it’s too hard to watch me go
If it’s too hard to watch me go
If it’s too hard to watch me go

Then don’t sign upon delivery
