with my precious son,
within a few short minutes
I knew I'd come undone.
The energetic vampire
had sucked my patience out
and I found myself quite helplessly
chewing the darling child out
My God how did it happen?
My intentions were so good
he's really not a horrible kid
he's just misunderstood
But just the same I walked away
as he climbed another wall
I suppose an honorable retreat
ain't a bad deal after all
At least I think I can safely say,
we may live to try another day.
