Some Halloween Fun
Eney meany miny mo.
You keep saying to take it slow.
It’s been over two years now.
If that’s not slow then tell me how.
Inka dinka dinka doo.
You know how much I love you.
Do you love me just as much?
Is this relationship built on trust?
Abra kadabra. Holy hey.
I called you up the other day.
You said you were down with the flu.
Friends of mine said they saw you.
Eye of newt. Leg of spider.
I’m not wanting to start a fight here.
Just tell where this all is going.
Do I stay or should I be rolling?
Ghosts & goblins & scary things.
It’s the scariest relationship I’ve ever seen.
Just like “Spooky” in the song.
What the hell is going on?
“Trick or treat”
Yelled everyone as I came down the street.
“We were having some Halloween fun.”
“Your girl said you’re the only one”
Black cats and witch’s brew.
Now I feel just like a fool.
I put it behind me as we made love.
