"I Don't Like It"
By Michael Knapp
your disguise got me
quite by surprise
why are you here?
'to see your last bow'

I must remind you
you came for nothing
you wasted your time
and mine for now

I can't believe you would take the steps
to see me fall
your rumours have the taste of poison
I don't like it at all

our friendship is something less
I now see the truth
the only thing that's fallen
is my respect for you

it could have been good
it would have been nice
but you threw it away
you were as cold as ice

I can't believe you would take the steps
to see me fall
your rumours have the taste of poison
I don't like it at all

I don't like it at all...
