Now that I've met you
Would you object to
Never seeing each other again
Cause I can't afford to
Climb aboard you
No one's got that much ego to spend

[Chorus]
So don't work your stuff
Because I've got troubles enough
No, don't pick on me
When one act of kindness could be
Deathly
Deathly
Deathly
Definitely

'Cause I'm just a problem
For you to solve and
Watch dissolve in the heat of your charm
But what will you do when
You run it through and
You can't get me back on the farm

[Chorus]

You're on your honor
'Cause I'm a goner
And you haven't even begun
So do me a favor
If I should waver
Be my savior
And get out the gun

[Chorus]

    I guess she feels like she's falling for someone, or that she's going to lose control over a situation with this person, and she's asking him nicely to stay away. She realizes that he's going to charm her, and that it's a bad idea for her to get into this relationship.
