lyrics

So you found yourself a man
Who fulfills your plan
To make a damn fool out of me
He can fly you to the moon
In a hot air balloon
He can even make the deaf man see
Well, I’ll tell you, bitch
You better pray he’s rich
Enough to buy you a private nurse
‘Cause before you skipped town
You said you’ll see me around
But not if I see you first

If I see you first, then you’re both gonna stay together
Forever underneath the grass
You better run real fast
‘Cause if I see you first
I’m gonna see you last

I’m a man possessed
With a slippery chest
That I can never keep my feelings on
Don’t try and make me change
I’m like a devil deranged
And I can only grit my teeth so long
I wanna see you bleed
I wanna see you need
Me to call off my gypsy curse
You wanna see me cry
You wanna see July
Well, not if I see you first

If I see you first, you better run like a burnin’ dog
Who set the fire station up in flames
You better change your name
‘Cause if I see you first
You’ll have yourself to blame

I been waitin’ 'round
Too many days
For a raise
From this pool of tears
I’ve been beaten down
Too many years
Time to shift the gears
And in my defense
I ain’t got much sense
My skull’s three feet dense
And I don’t take offenses well
I’m gonna send you back to hell

Now we can do this hard
And leave me twice as scarred
Or we can do this the easy way
Leave it all behind
And get some peace of mind
With a fella who earns his pay

Come back to me
And I guarantee
I won’t have to sing another verse
But if your answer’s wrong
I’ll write a thousand songs
While I’m on my way to see you first

If I see you first, well I promise you and me
We're really gonna cook with gas
You better run real fast
‘Cause if I see you first
You’ll fly a nonstop jet plane to hell first class
Grab your boarding pass
‘Cause if I see you first
You’ll feel a switchblade sharper than a broken glass
You better hide your ass
‘Cause if I see you first
I’m gonna see you last
I’m gonna see you last
I’m gonna see you last
I’m gonna see you last
