L.o.v.e. Me Not

Started with a glimmer in your baby doll eyes

Worked it with your shimmer then made off with the prize

Made and broke the covenant we found ourselves in

Baptized in the waters of original sin

Give me an "l" for the loser that you'd swore I'd never be

An "o" as in over - just like you and me

I need a "v" as in victim, which is just what I am

An "e" for education 'cause I just don't understand

How could I give you the best I got

And it all still spells l.o.v.e. me not

Medicating words just added fluid to the flame

The king awoke to find he'd been a pawn in your game

Well, little miss spider, you can get out and gone

But the house is on fire, and the children are alone

Hypnotized by the lies of a true believer

You gave me a crash course in my A.B.C. - 'ya's

I should've known it's all been just a game

Now that you're gone, who'll take the blame?
