I really don't want to sing

this song you've written for me.

Why don't you leave me alone?

Why can't you just leave me be?

I know you've spent countless hours

carefully arranging each note

into a pattern which you can be proud of,

into a song for which you can gloat.

But the thing is you've never asked me

if I wanted to sing this song,

if I would agree to the lyrics you wrote,

you just expect me to sing along.

I'm not saying the song is bad,

in fact I hope it works out.

I hope you find somebody else

who can sing what you write about.

But this really isn't my song,

nor is it my cup to drink,.

I'm sorry if I disappoint you,

but your song is just not for me.
