Personal Space

There is an issue we both must face
And it's not that from you I would replace
I'm not being rude or out of place
But I need to have my personal space

I appreciate you find me attractive
It really makes my ego soar high
But from you I really need to be subtracted
You get so close I am starting to be shy

A little distance now and then
Of course we can be friends
But I insist and with haste
Give me my personal space

You sit so close to me we're Siamese twins
You pat my head so much my hair has thin
When we walk our legs almost entwine
When we talk I feel like a mime

You should know I do carry a can of mace
I do admire you for your great taste
My patience I can no longer pace
So spread out, I need my personal space.
