It was on a Monday morning
First time I my darling
She looked so fine and charming
In every high degree
She looked so fine and nimble
Washing all her linen, oh

She was dashing away with a smoothing iron
Dashing away with a smoothing iron
Dashing away with a smoothing iron, she stole my heart away

So on a Tuesday morning
Next time I saw my darling
Well, she looked so fine and charming
In every high degree

Hanging out that linen, well

She was dashing away with a smoothing iron
Dashing away with a smoothing iron
Dashing away with a smoothing iron, she stole my heart away

Ironing all that linen, well

Dashing away with a smoothing iron, she stole my heart away

So on a Monday morning
Last time I saw my darling
That girl looked so fine and charming
People, in every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble-o
Wearing all that linen, this time

She was dashing away with a smoothing iron
Dashing away with a smoothing iron
Dashing away with a smoothing iron, she stole my heart away
Dashing away with a smoothing iron
Dashing away with a smoothing iron, she stole my heart away

Join my country in tournament
Soon you'll be left with no parts
Mali, Sudan and Senegal
Are the only real contenders
Doesn't matter if you're colored
If you're a girl you will be cut
Bounded by ropes and mistreated
Excision is the tradition
Psychic viruses of this wretched land
Smoothing iron on your titties
Vicious cycle that never ends
Stitched again after delivery
Bloody cunt filled with bird shit
In here it's a reality TV hit
If you want my lips to split
You'll need a stronger drill bit

It's been a long time
And seeing the shape of your name
Still spells out pain
It wasn't right
The way it all went down
Looks like you know that now

Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
It cut deep to know ya
Right to the bone
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over
I don't need your closure
Your closure

Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled
I'm fine with my spite
And my tears
And my beers and my candles
I can feel you smoothing me over

Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
It cut deep to know ya
Right to the bone
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over
I don't need your closure
Your closure
Your closure
Your closure

I know I'm just a
Wrinkle in your new life
Staying friends
Would iron it out so nice
Guilty, guilty reaching out across the sea
That you put between you and me
But it's fake
And it's oh so unnecessary

Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
It cut deep to know ya
Right to the bone
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over
I don't need your closure, closure
Your closure
Your closure

Uhhh I don't really know how to say
This but I'll give it a shot

Your the legs to my table
You're the cream cheese to
My everything bagel if I was a tv you
Would be more than just the
Basic cable what's an
Organic grass-fed chicken breast without
It's label your
The warm-up set to my workout
Your the iron smoothing
Every single wrinkle in my
Shirt out you're the
Light making sure I never ever burn out your
The moral support for a horrible turn out

Your more than just a ball
And chain your part
Of me I hope I've made that clear with
All these analogies bear with me
Have a little patience
I'm tryna think of all the ways that
I say this we go together
Better than Friday-Saturday I'll
Make this easy for you with more analogies
Just like the moonlight would
Be gone without the
Sun I'm not even myself without your love
(without your love)

With out your love

If you ever think of leavin me
Then I'll pray you don't your
Like the covalent bond to my H2O
Like a beautiful landscape with
No one to see it what is a God among men with
His Venus?
