Everybody wants it people think they need it
It causes more problems than it's worth it is more painful than childbirth
People have killed for it they have lied just to get it
I don't get all the hype I rather just get on the computer and Skype
It'll make you bleed when it gets it’s clutches in you it will just feed
Like a vampire it will suck you dry until you'll just shrivel up and die
People have done some strange things for it me I run very fast the other way then I turn then turn again and hide from it
It will drain all your money from your bank account then you get frantic and you think the bank is wrong with its count
But it's not you have to get a loan now you're in debt you just moan
Then there's another and another pretty soon you’re a family of five you don't know how you're going to survive
Then there is do it this way do it that way you promised me but it will be done today
What do you mean this is all you can afford what happened to the BMW I don’t want this Accord
I knew I should have gone out with that other guy you're worthless and can't do nothing right I just want to cry
Then she will divorce you take all your money your car and make you pay alimony and child support if you try to stand up for yourself the judge will just give you contempt of court
I am fifty it has caught me three times it caused me nothing but pain and it's taken all my nickels and dimes
It won’t catch me again I won't let it through the door I won't say its name I don't want it no more
You keep it you want it
I turn my back on it I won't open the door for it
If it catches me again, I'm going to go raving mad I rather be sent to a sanitarium that's sad
Am I the only sane person here it doesn't want it am I the only person that sees it for what it is and runs from it
No, she can't call me on the phone I am happy living alone
