What's Up With That

sent you a perfumed letter
came back stamped, return to sender
I'm de-fizzed like a soda gone flat
baby, what's up with that?

sent you a heart on facebook
trying to find a brand new hook
ignored and turned down flat
baby, what's up with that?

sent you a smiley face
instant message, got there right away
I think that it went splat
baby, what's up with that?

gonna send you one more text
don't know what I'll do next
I think you've pulled your welcome mat
baby, what's up with that?

all this leaves me feeling deflated
like a movie that's over rated
like Casey, I struck out a bat
baby, what's up with that
