I Have Better Things to Do

I Have Better Things to Do

You can ultimately only be who you truly are

You can try to hide it, but you won’t get very far

A person can always pretend

That they want to be someone’s friend

But sooner or later their real feelings cannot be concealed

And the person you really are will surely be revealed.

You can try your very best to fool people, but seriously, for Pete’s sake

Sooner or later it will be obvious that all you are is fake

You may be able to fool some of the people some of the time

But believe me when I say, everyone isn’t blind

No matter how you try to appear all sweet and nice

Maybe you can fool me once, but you'll never fool me twice

Underneath this friendly face, and this genuine smile

Lives a fully grown woman and not some foolish child

If you don’t really like me, then don’t pretend you do.

I’ve recently decided I’m not particularly fond of you.

So act like an adult, and stop your foolish games

We aren’t kids on a playground and there is no need for calling names

But you really should uncover your mirror so you can see what everyone else is seeing

It’s a whole lot of ugliness pouring from your very being

Honestly, I can’t believe I’m even wasting my time saying all of these things to you

So Ill end it all right here because I have far better things to do.
