Alyssa With an E

You wanna be so free
to be who you wanna be
and you made it clear
you don’t like me
to confidentially
even think differently
and to only see
the life you lead

A one way street,
one philosophy,
one way to see
as if to believe
and she’ll give me grief
on one more thing
yeah

You refuse to eat meat
with leather on your feet
Spurs dug in your steed,
you look down on me
Your high horse rearing up
above my peasantry,
but no pleasantries
just your decrees

A two way street,
a catastrophe
Might as well be
foreign policy
As she’ll gives me grief
on one more thing
yeah

Debating with my roommate
Dukes it out like doomsday
Maybe at one time
it was entertaining
But then it really got so played
I can’t believe it to this day
A miracle we made it
without that fuckin’ “A”

That’s “Alyssa” with an “E”
when she corrected it to me
“It’s ‘E-lyssa’ if you please”
she’d say, berating me
Elizabeth Louise
wasn’t who she wants to be
So Alyssa With an E
drivin’ me crazy
“Alyssa” with an “E”
is how she corrected it to me
“It’s ‘E-lyssa’ if you please”
she’d say, berating me
Elizabeth Louise
wasn’t who she wants to be
So Alyssa With an E
drivin’ me crazy
tonight
