Tell Me What You Really Think

 

You sat and looked at me as if,

I had lost my mind.

You told me I was crazy,

That I was unrefined.

The kind of life I offered

That you could not accept.

I think there's just a few lines

That I may have overstepped.

 

You said I had a screw loose

That I was fruity as a bat.

You called me crazy as a loon

Delirious and erratic.

Deranged, demented, dingy daft.

Bonkers, crazed and cracked

Unbalanced, unglued, unhinged unzipped

Kooky, mad and whacked.

 

You said I was a lunatic

Psycho and berserk

Out of my freakin mind

A screwy, batty, jerk

You called me a screwball

A flaky no good fink

And I said babe tell me

What you really think.

Humerous
