As I walked around my garden
I smelt the dandelions and figs
Trying to put out of my mind that you called me a pig
You do not know how it felt
You just stopped and stared at me
While I was eating my sandwich
You stood there and showed such glee
And by now I think it’s time
Our relationship comes to an end
Because now I think that you and I
Are not meant to be friends
The amount of times that you called me this and that
I can’t take it anymore
Where is the gun! Where is the knife!
'Cause now I'm going to take a rest... Permanently
