Ginger

It's not pretty

i tried to tell you

he's no good for you

but you can't see

for shit

something bad is gonna happen

with you

right in the middle

of it

trust me honey

he’s a lowlife edge hovering scumbag

he thinks he's a bad boy

dropping names to try and be cool

he thinks that you’re his next toy

and that i am just a fool

look at what h e s done

no morals no scruples

out for number one

you’re gonna get singed

you're gonna get burnt

i kept you from all of that

yet nothing have you learnt

he's gonna take you

to places you shouldn't ever go

he's gonna make you do things

that i don’t want know

and when you come back crying to me

my arms will be open wide

(and you know this!)

i will always love you

even though a part of me has died

and if you don't

well

you're gonna

end up

just like Ginger!
