GDm When I was six years old my sister Alyson FC Asked for a stove for her birthday GDm A miniature one you could actually cook with FC And my mom was nice and she bought one
GDm Alyson needed a reason to bake something FC Barged in my room and she grabbed me She said GDm I made a cake and we're going next door FC To sam weinstein's and you're getting married
G the cake was burned Dm it tasted gross F she made me kiss him C on the mouth
G now i am 33 Dm unmarried happily FCG no plans in life and i'm planning to keep it that way Dm i do kissing with only one mission FC do you like to kiss then you have my permission
GDm and i have already spent too much time FC doing things i didn't want to GDm so if i just want to make out all the time FC you can bet your black ass that i'm going to
GDm When I was nine I was kind of a loser FC The kids in my class didn't like me GDm Melanie chow was the meanest of all FC And my mom made me go to her party
GDm Nobody talked to me I sat there quietly FC Drawing with crayons on a napkin GDm A picture of melanie skewered with a pitchfork FC Her legs getting eaten by lions
G The cake was good Dm I took some home F I had a party C In my room
GDm Now I have friends and I'm not such a loser FCG But I go to bars all alone and I sit there DmFC And order red wine and I write and I like being alone around people GDm Yes that's how I like it
GDm and i have already spent too much time FC doing things i didn't want to GDm So if I wanna sit here and write and drink wine FC you can bet your black ass that i'm going to
GDm yes i come here often FC sure i'll have another one GDm yes i come here often FC sure i'll have another one but i don't have to talk to you
GDm When I was 17 I was a blowjob queen FC Picking up tips from the masters GDm I was so busy perfecting my art I was clueless to what they were after FC Now I'm still a blowjob queen far more selectively GDm I don't make love now to make people love me FC But I don't mind sharing my gift with the planet GDm We're all gonna die and a blowjob's fantastic
GDm When I was I was a rock star FC But it didn't pay too well I had to strip on the side GDmF Of the road to get ready for shows and the cars driving by C Baby they'd never know G What a bargain they'd gotten Dm And if I'm forgotten FC I'm perfectly happy with all that has happened GDm And I still get laughed at but it doesn't bother me FC I'm just so glad to hear laughter around me
GDm and i've already spent too much time FC doing things i didn't want to
G so if i want to drink alone Dm dressed like a pirate F or look like a dyke C or wear high heels and lipstick G or hide in a convent Dm or try to be mayor F or marry a writer C smoke crack and slash tires G make jokes you don't like D or paint ducks and retire FC YOU CAN BET YOUR BLACK ASS THAT I'M GOING TO
