x2
i remember the kid in 7th grade that spat in my face over a girl
6 of his friends came over, egging him on, kicking my ass over a girl
now i just ran away and it s with me still today
but i m reminded of that kid by you
i try to change the scenery and you act like you re over me
and i ve become a swatted fly again
i bring you down off the shelf and you tell me to myself
and i ve become a swatted fly again
i ve made choices not quite from the heart. i d hide in my shell over a
girl
when i break through you shut me down. i m outta my hell into your world
now i know i should take the bad with the good
but everything tells me to walk away
you put a smile on my face and then you put me in your place
and i ve become a swatted fly again
when anything i say or do is never good enough for you
i ve become a swatted fly again
(hold)
i ll never be your swatted fly again
