I’m Out of Here (lyrics to be sung by a man about a bad girlfriend) You tell the world we’re the greatest couple, but they don’t see what I see behind the scenes. Your love is just pretend. You always get your way, and you keep getting it by any means. There is no give and take – no compromise. My feelings are irrelevant to you. You asked me for a love song, pretty please. Well, I’ve got one about a love untrue. Yes, “Darling dear,” I’ve had it up to here. It’s time at last for me to hit the road, so listen up. I need no backseat driver nor any of your stuff in my place stowed. Chorus: I’m out of here; I’m out of here. My truth I’m no more hiding. Find yourself another fool. My coattails you will be no longer riding. So there’s your song. I wrote it just like that. What say you about my little ditty? Karma is a witch, and you know what? She’ll find you, and things will not be pretty. Just try to find another guy like me - some guy who isn’t lazy, mean or shifty. I gave my all while you gave nearly nil - well below the norm of fifty-fifty! You are a leech that burrowed beneath my skin, but there are many fish inside the sea. I’ll be going fishing for a good one, and in the meantime, I’ll be living free. Chorus: I’m out of here; I’m out of here. My truth I’m no more hiding. Find yourself another fool. My coattails you will be no longer riding.
