Cookies That Hurt

Life went south with Jimmy Buffett
I'm gonna write him
cuz I'm still hurt, stupid, drunk
But see, I still gotta get up
Need to go to work
Help folks
It helps, to help 
you know?

So I'm makin cookies for my growed up babies
cuz tomorrow, it's Valentines day
I got these heart shaped cutters
Kneading the dough I say

Babies, I love you
I will love you no matter what
I press the dough into heart shapes
with all my heart

then someone says
someone tells me
and I guess that they would know
"you're the worst mother"
and it flattened out my dough
