Clueless
I took a chance on you - even though it went against my black heart
I didn't realize it'd be rocky like this from the very start
I didn't know what I'd be getting into - I truly didn't care
I didn't realize until way later my actions would be getting into an electric chair
The many, many masks - yanked out of his closet doors
Lots of them he's used already - documented some unbelievable scores
Here I thought the first little southern boy I was with would be grand
I didn't suspect that my personality he hated that much and he couldn't stand
I didn't know his little body would be erupting with so much past hate
Like a professional manipulator - I didn't realize it until it was way too late
The façade he displayed - so pro - so unequivocally flawless
Acting like from the beginning he was my magical genie and he'd grant my wish
Like a mentally-ill cowboy genie was hidden within those Memphis trees
Stalking and creeping upon his prey - through those thick forest leaves
A southern accent - a fake southern cowboy smile
Saying I was just a booty-call - but he's stayed 7.5 years now awhile
He says he'll never trust another f--king b--ch
That is - unless she's spoiling him - in which case she's gotta be rich
The level of manipulation he possesses is none other than God-sent
But he fails to have acquired simple survival skills - like bills and rent
Raising himself in this Luciferian devilish light
Failing logic and common sense - like what's wrong and right
He wants me to love and be loved - but refuses to let me in
Although he ironically possesses every single one of the f--king 7 Deadly Sins
He loves the idea of wanting to "be in love with me"
However; if you watch him closely - he's genuinely clueless as you can see
