Week 52 - I Blew You A Kiss And You Gave Me The Finger (191220)

from Song A Week, Volume 4 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

You were lookin' cute at the Dairy Queen
Offered you a treat if you know what I mean
Turned your pretty head around like Linda Blair
Flipped me the bird and chased me outta' there

Baby what's your damage who made you this injured
Pulled a tenth avenue freeze out in the dead of winter
God help us both if we match on Tinder
I blew you a kiss and you gave me the finger

Saw you again at the Texaco
Told you I was sorry for what I said befo'
Nearly caught a cast iron skillet to the head
Girl you sure know how to make a man sweat

What makes you kill a man who's already surrendered
Squeezed out my soul and hit puree on the blender
Fried up all my stupid hopes and dreams for dinner
I blew you a kiss and you gave me the finger

Thought I learned my lesson and I left you alone
So why do you keep on blowin' up my telephone
Unplugged the cord and spun around and there you stood
You said "read between the lines" and I sure understood

My little wooden heart has come apart in splinters
Chopped down my pride with an axe and yelled "timber"
Let's light up a match and burn it all down to cinders
I blew you a kiss and you gave me the finger

I tried run away but your curse it lingers
You swerved in my lane without a glance or a blinker
Like a big Maytag dryer you put my mind through the wringer
I blew you a kiss and you gave me the finger
