Flyin’ The Coop

You smile so sweetly as you break my heart
then you kiss my lips, set my soul aglow
with a promise that we will never part
saying you’ll never leave — then off you go
can I trust you, love, I just do not know

you say “I’m back my love”, so sincere
but the evidence points the other way
your credibility is very weak my dear
and you lie with much of what you say
I’ve had it — I’m flyin’ the coop today
