Warning Signs (The Kneecaps Song)
Written by Mallory San Marco © 2008

If you were a puzzle piece
You would only fit with me, you’re perfect
You’re perfect for me
As anyone can see
If you don’t wanna be with me
Blame it on insanity; I’m perfect
I’m perfect for you
This much I know is true

And if you don’t see what I mean
Let me break this down for clarity

You will only be with me
And if you try to leave
I’ll break your kneecaps
You’ll never walk again
With any other man
It’s only cuz I love you so
I will never let you go
No never, and I mean ever
You won’t get out alive

If we were a lock and key
You’d always be chained to me, like prison
Or maybe Siamese twins
You’d never leave my side
I hope you never start to stray
That would be my dying day
And by mine, I actually mean yours
So please don’t be a whore

I know your friends and family don’t approve
That’s why they have no contact with you

Chorus

I should have seen the warning signs,
The writings on my cage
But it’s hard to find the words that he never lets me say
But I’m running out of turtlenecks to wear in mid July
And these sunglasses he makes me wear
Don’t look as cool inside

So I found his loaded shotgun
And when he got home I watched him plead for mercy
He sure looked wimpy, starring down that gun
I’d like to think I’m decent
So I asked for one good reason I should spare him,
He started to cry then
We both knew there was none.

I should have sent that bastard packing
Six feet under ground
Instead, I held him hostage
Til the “po-po” came around
It’s funny how the tables' turned
I’ve never felt so free
And Mr. Tough Guy’s someone’s bitch
In the penitentiary…

Chorus
