You Piss Me Off

You Piss Me Off

It’s how you leave your socks and pants
In the middle of the room
And tell me that you’re going to die
When it’s just 24 hour flu
It’s how you wear your jeans
So low, your crack is on display
And forgot to feed the cat
For that whole week I was away

It’s how you ignore the dishes in the sink
As you use the last clean cup
And we don’t even need to start about
You leaving the toilet seat up
It’s how you can’t even seem to piss straight
Leaving your yellow sprinkles all around the loo
And never ever wipe it up
No matter how many times I ask you to

It’s how you refuse to ask for directions
Even though you’re blatantly lost
It’s how you always have to be right
No matter what the cost
It’s how you say you’ll call me back
And always seem to forget
It’s how, when I ask you to help me out
You say OK…I’m coming…I will…just…give me a minute

It’s how you seem to talk so much
Yet never say what you mean
And how whenever I want to talk
You tell me I’m being a drama queen
And it’s how you think you always know better
And try to tell me what to do
And how you never do any of the things
You say that you are going to

It’s how you think you’re so damn hot
And everybody wants you
And how you can go out and get pissed with your mates
But when I do, it is so not cool
It’s how your idea of fun is watching football
Playing Play-station, burping and farting,
And how whenever you’re pissed off
And I ask what’s wrong, you just say, ‘nothing’

And these are only some of the things
That piss me off about you
I could go on and into these things
But I don’t want to bore you
Cos when it comes to being pissed off
Pissing me off, is what you do
But most of all, what pisses me off
Is that I’m completely and utterly in love with you.
