You're Like A Permanent Flu

[Verse 1]
Can't stand lookin' at you,
'cause ya robbed me blind.
You infect my thoughts,
And eat at my mind.

[Verse 2]
Can't get far enough away,
While you fester inside me.
You're another man's trinket,
While ya rust my heart's key.

[Chorus]
Can't seem to shake you,
You're like a permanent flu.
Been searchin' for a cure,
Don't know what to do.

Can't seem to shake you,
You're like a permanent flu.
Been lookin' for a cure,
Don't know what to do.

[Verse 3]
I'm yours, my honey,
Heard too many times.
Can't help but retch now,
From your siren-call eyes.

[Verse 4]
The way ya strut around,
Like something desirous,
Should have a warning label,
Danger, femme fatale virus.

[Chorus]
Can't seem to shake you,
You're like a permanent flu.
Been searchin' for a cure,
Don't know what to do.

Can't seem to shake you,
You're like a permanent flu.
Been lookin' for a cure,
Don't know what to do.

[Bridge]
Hacking cough, wet snot sneeze. Throbbing migraine, burning yellow pee. Bloodshot eyes, mucus thick. 
Someone says your name, I'm gonna be sick!

[Verse 5]
I called the doctor,
But he was unsure,
Said 'til you're dead and buried,
It's what I gotta endure.

[Verse 6]
I called my mother,
Said I already know.
A backbone and a pair,
Is what I need to grow.

​[Chorus]
​Can't seem to shake you,
You're like a permanent flu.
Been searchin' for a cure,
Don't know what to do.

Can't seem to shake you,
You're like a permanent flu.
Been lookin' for a cure,
Don't know what to do.

​[Chorus]
​Can't seem to shake you,
You're like a permanent flu.
Been beggin' for a cure,
Don't know what to do.

Can't seem to shake you,
You're a fatal disease.
I need a vaccination,
While ya do what ya please.
