Mind Games...
Playing mind games with my head,
You screwed it all up...
Then looked at me all puzzled,
And said... "Honey, what's up?"
You checked me in and out,
To see what you'd unwind...
Here's looking at you kid,
What did you expect to find?
I just hung right in there,
Having nothing to hide...
You should have warned me,
Emotional suicide...
Don't pay the doctor,
because you will find...
He dissected the heart,
Instead of the mind...
You took my love and trust,
And showed no remorse...
But here's a little surprise, baby,
You didn't tap the source....
And just as you were leaving,
You realized your mistake...
But something, somewhere, somehow,
Gave me a break...
Don't call me on the phone,
Don't bother yourself to write...
I have a clear conscience,
And it let's me sleep at night...
