BNice2Me

Thank you for your confidence and thanks for all the help
And if it’s not too much to ask, please go help someone else.
And yes I’m being sarcastic when I say
I simply couldn’t get along without your
Sunny disposition and your sense of humour
You told me I was plain, lacking talent and skill
You fed me up with your pep talk buddy…well thanks, I’ve had my fill

So lucky to have a teacher who, could point out all my flaws
You wonder why I’ve no self-esteem; well you’re part of the cause.
Your loving voice I carry with me everywhere I go
To remind me, if I forget, all the things that I don’t know
It’s tough to put up with all your abuse
I’ve tried hard to change your ways…But it’s no use.

People like you make me nervous
People like you make me twitch
There’s no reason to be that way
There’s no reason, but you can’t help yourself, that’s why I say.

Take your methods somewhere else, we don’t need them over here.
I would rather not be friends with someone whom I fear.
When we’ve played your game , it seems I always lose
This time is different… because I’ve changed the rules.
I won’t bow down to tyranny
Come on now… for a change… why not be nice to me?
