contradictionally yours

i put
three sugars in my decaf

it ain't funny

but i just can't help but laugh

i make up stories

when i go to confession

i drown my veggies

in a lake of salad dressing

i'm really happy

but i write poems that are sad

i try to be good

but the good can't beat the bad

hey, hey

i'm contradictionally yours

i'm not counting

but i'm keeping score

i am organized

confusion

i'm a winner

but i'm losing

my self control

i gotta just let it go

i say
i miss you but i wanna be alone

i'm tired of talking

but i'm not gettin' off the phone

i'd walk five miles

cuz i'd do that just to see your face

then i'd beg for a ride

back to my place

i really want to change

but then just stay the same

i like the players

but i just can't take the game

hey, hey

i'm contradictionally yours

i'm not counting

but i'm keeping score

i am organized

confusion

i'm a winner

but i'm losing

my self control

i gotta just let it go

i say
i'm never gonna write again

but then my hand's

always reachin' out for the pen

i save my pennies in a piggy bank

but throw all my dollars down my gas tank

i say i'm gonna eat like the vegan's do

it's all over when i smell a steak on the barbecue

hey, hey

i'm contradictionally yours

i'm not counting

but i'm keeping score

i am organized

confusion

i'm a winner

but i'm losing

my self control

i gotta just let it go

Peace - Rene
