Don’T Change on my Account

“If you’re sloppy, that’s just fine.

If you’re moody, I won’t mind.

If you’re fat, that’s fine with me.

If you’re skinny, let it be.

If you’re bossy, that’s alright.

If you’re nasty, I won’t fight.

If you’re rough, well that’s just you.

If you’re mean, that’s alright too.

Whatever you are is all okay.

I don’t like you anyway.”
