what's up with that

sent you a perfumed letter
came back return to sender
I'm de-fizzed like a soda gone flat
baby, what's up with that?

sent you a heart on Facebook

trying to find a new hook
ignored and turned down splat
baby, what's up with that?

sent you a smiley face
instant message, went right away
ignored like a pesky gnat
baby, what's up with that?

gonna send you one more text
don't know what I'll do next
I think you lack a welcome mat
baby, what's up with that?

all this leaves me deflated
like a movie that's over rated
like Casey, I struck out a bat
baby, what's up with that
