Don't Try To Ruin My Night

A long night coming slowly to an end as we pull into the driveway.
1984 Camaro, humming softly in the winter's blanket.
I hop out and wave you off until you're out of sight.
The Good Old Days are back.

I call your phone, no answer.
I text your phone, no reply.
I don't know what I did to make you so angry.
Was it that I hung out with another guy?

Hey, hey Jealousy,
wind it down a notch.
It's not like you, or any of your friends,
invite me out at night.
I'm left at home, to be by myself, a usual weekend ritual.
And when I'm not, it's 21 questions, and then your silence.

I had an amazing night tonight;
cruising around town, punks at McDonald's, street racing.
I even got to watch my friend play hockey.
What do I get from you?
Silence on the other end of the line.
Thanks babe. I needed that downer.

Or you try to compete, to make me feel bad.
Or you try to make me jealous.
I've been with you over 2 years, and you haven't
even asked me to hang out with you and the guys after work.
Is that really even fair to me?
I've asked you guys, and you just change the subject.

I'm not one to jump to conclusions,
but I'm starting to get suspicious.
Why can't I hang out with you guys?
Why don't you call me much anymore?
What am I to you?

I'm good enough to be your girlfriend at home,
or at your house,
or at the mall,
or to the movies.
Why aren't I good enough to hang out with?
Or to go to the clubs with?

Am I not pretty enough?
Should I hike my skirt up a little more?
Do I need to show some cleavage?
Do you want me to get drunk off of coolers?
I can pretend to be an easy drunk. (Kind of hard, being Irish and all...)
I'll pretend to be drunk and we'll see where it takes us.

No. Not my style.
What's wrong with the real me?
You asked the real me out over two years ago,
now what's wrong?
Do you want me to change?
You're breaking my heart.

This box of Valentine's chocolates that you got me is empty,
much like how I'm feeling.
Do you care? Why the silence on the line?
What did I do?
I feel sick and pissed off.
Sick from the chocolate, and pissed off because of you.
