Emotional Tampon

I’m sick of being the one you complain to
About your boyfriend when we have lunch
I’m tired of being the friend you borrow from
When you can’t afford your bill from Crunch

I’m not going to keep giving you things
If you don’t reciprocate anything back to me
I’m fed up with being your emotional tampon
and your personal rational therapist for free

Emotional Tampon - Whoa
Emotional Tampon - Whoa
Emotional Tampon - Whoa
It’s what you know I shouldn’t be

There are too many things I’ve noticed
There are patterns I can’t and won’t ignore
So I’ll need all the things you borrowed 
I can’t put up with this crap anymore

Your words are like blood I’ve absorbed 
I know you’ll eventually leave me behind
So I’m gonna beat you to the punch, babe
To your future friends, I hope you’re kind

Emotional Tampon - Whoa
Emotional Tampon - Whoa
Emotional Tampon - Whoa
It’s what you know I shouldn’t be

You also know you won’t be changing
You’ll move on and find someone new
So good luck, have fun and be safe
Maybe you’ll learn a lesson or two

I can’t be around you anymore now
It’s time for me to cut you out of my life
Maybe you’ll find the right guy to ask you
To be his loyal and dedicated wife

Emotional Tampon - Whoa
Emotional Tampon - Whoa
Emotional Tampon - Whoa
Your future husband can do it, not me
