Splenda


You think you're so sweet Calling me sugary pet names Like Babe, or Honey. Covering up Condescending, Sugar-Coated words Feeding me sprinkle-topped bull shit. You substitute words Like artificial sweeteners For your weak sweet-tooth. Kiss me in the rain, Kiss me in your car, It doesn't matter to me any more. Well, Darling, I can Still taste your aspartame smile, And I hate diet soda.
