I said you were too hot, so you cooled down.

I said you were too bright, so you dulled somewhat.

I said you were too serious, and like that you became a clown.

I said you didn’t share, you gave away the lot.

I said you were too fast for me, so on the brakes you stood.

I said you were ever so proud, so you became modest.

I said you were an angel, so you got up to no good.

I said you didn’t hide truth, so you became dishonest.

I thought you cared, with that you spared no thought.

I said you were too dry, so you rained hard.

I said you saved too much, and the balance became nought.

I listened to your love for me, only I became a mard.
