Poke me in the eyeball, pull out a gun
Say something spiteful about my mum
Tease my dog so he doesn't even know it
By going to throw a bone but just pretending to throw it
Make death threats, yeah, and I have to guess where
Then when I get there pull out my chest hairs
Headbutt me in the nuts if you want
Cus ain't no trouble like losing the one you love, c'mon!
