Manners

I need to practice detachment From the women in my life Because they'll keep on bringing around partners And we may not always see eye to eye And I've always wanted a man A loud one with opinions who banters But if all goes according to plan He'll also have a whole lot of manners Because I don't deserve To be looked at and told To shut up and smile And you should have learned that years ago And I won't chill out, and I won't calm down You can't have me around Until you figure it out And I have been working my ass off I've been trying to build my castle I barely have time to write, let alone fight with you None of this is really worth the hassle And I've always wanted a man A loud one with opinions who banters But if all goes according to plan He'll also have a whole lot of manners Because I don't deserve To be looked at and told To shut up and smile And you should have learned that years ago And I won't chill out, and I won't calm down You can't have me around Until you figure it out Now I have been scaring my mother When I call her after I've gotten home Because I wasn't raised to let another Try to test the self-respect that I have grown And I know that you think i have a hard shell But there's a limit to the shit that you can stir Just because you are a hot mess Doesn't mean my life is made of diamonds and fur And I've always wanted a man A loud one with opinions who banters But if all goes according to plan He'll also have a whole lot of manners Because I don't deserve To be looked at and told To shut up and smile And you should have learned that years ago And I won't chill out, and I won't calm down You can't have me around Until you figure it out
