M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

As Is

It was amazing
When we first met
Sort of like Romeo and Juliet 
But I was quickly
Able to see
What she had in store

First the pictures in my man cave
We're taken down 
And then thrown away
But the last draw
Was when she took
My deer off the wall

I told her...
Much like a used car
You know the one that's neglected
And driven too hard
I should have told you
I only come as is

I'm a lot, set in my ways
I may be new to you
But I've seen better days
So don't try to change me
I only come as is

She looked at me in complete disgust 
To be honest man 
She almost cussed
Then she said, fine
I guess you can keep it up

Just know that I 
Think it's dumb
Like your camoflague and all you guns
What do you need em for
Don't you think you could sell some

I told her...
Much like a used car
You know the one that's neglected
And driven too hard
I should have told you
I only come as is

I'm a lot, set in my ways
I may be new to you
But I've seen better days
So don't try to change me
I only come as is

Then about an hour or so 
I see a note on a pile of clothes
It's says you haven't
Worn this shirt in a while

Now I'll admit I'm no Ralph Lauren
But flannel goes with all my pants
And besides that
It never goes out of style

I think it's time that I 
Trade her in
Her bodies great but in her defense
She's as used as me 
So I guess 
I got her as is

I now know why her x
Did what he did
