party favor

(Hey, leave a message)

Hey, call me back when ya get this
Or when you've got a minute
We really need to talk

Wait, you know what?
Maybe just forget it
'Cause by the time you get this
Your number might be blocked

Stay and blah, blah, blah
You just want what you can't have
No way, I'll call the cops
If you don't stop, I'll call your dad

And I hate to do this to you on your birthday
Happy birthday, by the way
It's not you, it's me, and all that other bullshit
You know that's bullshit, don'tcha, babe?

I'm not your party favor

Look, now I know we coulda done it better
But we can't change the weather
When the weather's come and gone

Books don't make sense if you read 'em backwards
You'll single out the wrong words
Like you mishear all my songs

You'll hear stay and blah, blah, blah
You just want what you can't have
No way, I'll call the cops
If you don't stop, I'll call your dad

And I hate to do this to you on your birthday
Happy birthday by the way
It's not you, it's me, and all that other bullshit
You know that's bullshit, don'tcha, babe?

I'm not your party favor
