Blame this one on a lack of oxygen reaching my brain...oy vey! hehe
Caught the flu
Instead of you
Just my luck
Hit by a truck
Or so it feels
My head it reels
My body aches
I crave cheesecake
Or your strong arms
Gentlemanly charms
You were so sweet
Until hasty retreat
Or did I push
That nice tight tush
Out of my life
Hand me that knife
Or perhaps a gun
I've come undone
Oxygen I lack
Woozy world turns black
Or is it blue
I have no clue
I'm not at my best
I need some rest
Or maybe drugs
Some brandy chugs
Might clear my mind
Help me unwind
Or wind me up
Silly me in cups
At least I'd forget
That I'm all wet
Or am I too dry
Just want to cry
Where have you gone
Oh Mister Wrong
Or were you Right
This love thing bites
All things considered
I'll be old and withered
Or young and free
Just being me
Who needs you
I'll take this Flu.
