Your words are meant to sever
…my self-esteem and will
But Honey, you could never
Get a rise from me
I’m sorry if you’re bitter
But that’s the pill you choose
Your efforts ill-delivered
Won’t get a rise from me
I don’t mean to disappoint you
Unscathed by your attacks
You should learn to make a point to…
Breathe ‘fore you react
Inflicting verbal daggers
How dare you waste my time
To kid yourself and think that I
…would listen on my dime
Your message never met my ear
Just words lost to the atmosphere
The desired effect, you ain’t gon’ get
Can’t get no rise from me
You’re wastin’ your time
To think that on my dime
You’re gettin’ a rise from me
You’re out of your mind
To think that I’m
…beginning to rise, Honey
The desired effect, you ain’t gon’ get
Can’t get no rise from me
The only effect you could ever expect
…is a loss of respect, Honey!
