Well, hello you,
Mr. Charming today?
Compliments, flowers,
I like Him, I must say.
Then there's that other guy,
Fickle and bold.
An ice bath in January
isn't as cold.
Or the one filled with pain,
He took quite a toll.
Trying to help him
left a wound in my Soul.
Don't forget Mr. Bossy,
Throwing orders around.
Orchestrate, delegate
to cause chaos, I found.
Here comes the little boy
whose mommy was cruel.
He'd lie and deny
solid facts like a fool.
Then the Rockstar emerged,
Now that guy was fun!
Sex, drugs, bandanas,
Living life on the run.
Angry guy was explosive,
Like a hair-triggered bomb.
Walking on eggshells
couldn't make him stay calm.
Don't forget Helpful Guy,
Who said, "I'll be there!"
Well, the damage he caused
made me pull out my hair.
Then there's my Best Friend,
Oh, where did he go?
Out watching wrestling,
Buying drinks for some ho.
But the one that I hated,
Mr. Cruel at the end.
Got his sidepiece to text me,
Nope, that one's not my friend.
That guy tried to lash out,
And hurt me for fun,
Because I won't commit
to these ten guys in one.
So stay out of my inbox,
Don't DM or holla.
Don't drive by or wave.
Don't pretend we are solid.
I'm finally off of
your man carousel,
Being with you was a timesuck from Hell.
