[Verse]
EI'm not in Dbmlove with you
AI'm a coward and a thief
I'm a Cshark with blunted teeth
EI have somewhat misDbmled you
I've been Aknown to bend the truth
I would Clie in a confession booth
EI'm not in a Dbmplayful mood
UndersAtatement for the year
Well I Cthought I should make things clear
As EI'm not in Dbmlove with you
I make Apromises I can't keep
I told your Cboss and I'll tell your niece
 E   Dbm   Abmx2

EI'm only Dbmusing you
Be my Ashoulder, be my muse
But no PDCAs or I'll act confused
