Lyrics

Some times I can be per fect ly sweet; got this (Eb)sug ar y me all stuffed up in my sleeve.

And I’ll talk of po nies and rain bows and things and I’m (Db)just who you want me to be.

But like most crea tures down here on the ground, I’m com (Eb)posed of the el e ments mov ing a round.

And I grow and change and I shift and I switch, and it (Db)turns out I’m ac tu ’lly kind of a bitch.

But (Eb)that on ly hap pens when I get pro voked by some (Bbm)piece of shit ass hole we all sad ly know.

And I sit and I write while re mind ing you all that mean (Db)songs are still bet ter than go ing post al.

And that guy’s an ass hole.

That girl’s a (Eb)bitch.

Ba by, it’s (Bbm)nat ’ral;

no get ting a (Db)way from it.

So sing it out (Ab)with me

and then let it (Eb)go.

(Bbm)Fuck that guy; he’s (Eb)just an ass

Oh, ass hole,
