Crazy Town

Crazy woman in the bookstore
Won’t leave me alone
Asks me non-stop questions
Why won’t she go home?

Tells me her ex-husband says she’s fat
Then proceeds to ask me the same
She is overweight 
But my approach is tame

I try to be nice
And tell her what she wants to hear
At the same time I try to blow her off
But to her this isn’t clear

So she keeps at me
Just won’t leave me alone
I try to look as busy as possible
Why won’t she go home?
