CONVERSATING FEAR

So why didn't you come over last night
I met this girl, you know her, we're going on a date
Oh...so where are you taking her
Blah,blah,blah...I fed you, you lizard
I realize I'm fat, but look in a mirror, you're not all THAT
I'm so new to this, what should I wear
I thought maybe taking her to the mall and just hang out
Well, where will you eat,...that's right...my focus is food
You will never notice me, SEE me, no matter what I do

...break

So, I was thinking, I'm gonna have to save a lot of money
But around Christmas, I would like to take you to a concert
Really, I have never been to a concert, that would be so much fun
I bet "so and so" would love to go too, of course I can pay for her
I'll be back, I have to go to the bathroom

...final break

You don't look well, are you sick
It's just this heat, working outside, having to keep hydrated
I'll be fine...
