It's Just a Matter of Time

It's Just a Matter of Time...
Caged Buttafly

It's just a matter of time for...
"Just seeing you makes my day."
To change to...
"You know I don't like your hair that way."

It's just a matter of time for...
"I love the way you dress like that."
To change to...
"Why you got that on, you know you're too fat."

It's just a matter of time for...
"I love your lips, give me a kiss."
To change to...
"You got a smart mouth." Then your lip is split.

It's just a matter of time for...
"Baby, you know I'd never hurt you."
To change to...
"Now look what you made me do."

It's just a matter of time for...
"I love you and want you for my wife."
To change to...
Hands around your neck trying to take your life.
