We will always say we love you,
We will love you when you’re new,
And we promise not to tell you,
When we think our time is through.
We will shower you with sweetness,
As we make our sweet requests,
Then we’ll wipe you from our conscience,
Once our purpose has been met.
We really do love giving;
We truly love it when you give,
But should you come with nothing,
We’ll examine how you live.
We will take the time to see you,
On our scrolling picture feed,
But we may or may not see you,
When our actual paths should meet.
We really love our straight-talk;
Straightening hair and straightening style,
We will focus on your lipstick,
We won’t help your straightened smile.
You’re important and you’re special,
But we’ve got things to do,
You’re important and you’re special,
But we can’t love you ’cause you’re you.
Now forget this conversation,
Let’s just carry on being “friends”,
Don’t forget your “please” and “thank you”,
Be polite and bow your head.
Let us ride the storm together,
Let’s keep the floundering afloat,
Just make sure you stay silent,
As you’re drowning in the boat.
