Yankee Doodle

Dorian Davis

I called your house, your mother said

That you ran for the border

The last thing you gave to me

Was a restraining order

I can take a subtle hint

You found a replacement

Are you mad because I tried

To lock you in the basement?



There was a time I thought that love

Was all about forgiving

Now it seems I'm just upset

That you're still out there living



I went to your house last night

But you weren't home then

So instead I took a knife

And bound and gagged your boyfriend

I don't think I'm out of line

You're the one with problems

If you'd ever let me in

We'd be okay to solve them



I have such respect for you

And though you deserve it

Either say yes to my touch

On your skin, or I'll burn it.
