Must I walk on eggshells
Be carefull what I say
Just be sweet
Avoid the heat
And hold the hounds at bay;
Keep my thoughts within me
Avoid a nasty scene
Zip my lip
Or let it rip
But try not to be mean;
You're asking quite a favor
Not sure I can comply
I won't be shushed
My buttons pushed
I cannot tell a lie;
I will not walk on eggshells
I have a perfect right
To spill my guts
I may be nuts
But I don't want to fight;
So let's just call a truce here
Agree to disagree
I love you still
I always will
But please, let me be me.
