Jessenia - My Backyard

Ghosts in my bedroom, I’ve got their skeletons in my closet
He didn’t like the way that I cooked or spoke, so I offed him (I asked him)
Would you like some eggs & bacon to go with your coffee? (I put a)
Little something inside of his cup and he started coughing

Next one had a way with words and was living a double
Romance flowed from his lips despite us being a couple (so lovely)
He couldn’t keep his hands to himself, it got him in trouble (Fox 50)
Breaking & entering said the news, showed no signs of a struggle

Don’t leave, I’m being cordial now
Why are you so ungrateful?
I know you won’t be satisfied, 'til you’re hit with a shovel
Where do you think you’re off to now?
Did I burst your bubble?
What can you do or say, if you’re buried in my backyard anyway

Santa sat me on his lap and asked what I wanted
I wasn’t nice, I’ve been naughty, and he just nodded (I told him)
See he wasn’t inside my chimney, he went through hers (I smoked him)
So I took him out of the holiday, because I’m always first

Valentine’s was the worst, had the flowers, cards and the chocolate
I knew he liked surprises, I showed up for him at his office (with cookies)
When I saw the mistress I had to plan the color of her coffin (ebony)
It was only fair he was next, I had a hole with his name on it

Don’t leave, I’m being cordial now
Why are you so ungrateful?
I know you won’t be satisfied, 'til you’re hit with a shovel
Where do you think you’re off to now?
Did I burst your bubble?
What can you do or say, if you’re buried in my backyard anyway
Well if you won’t stay, I’ll bury you in my backyard anyway
