MARIA MENA LYRICS - Cause And Effect

"Cause And Effect"



I can't laugh too hard, I'm on a diet.

I'm trying to lose myself,

You ought to try it.

Just starve for six days straight,

Oh, it's a riot.

Ev-e-ry Sun-day night.



I binge, and I barf, 'cause I carry the

Scars of an eight-year-old,

Whose mother applied the same rules

To her kid's body,

As her own.



I think you'll leave me soon,

Though I've no proof of it.

But I'll make it easier for you

By being a little bitch.

And this is just a theory,

But I think the reason

Why I'm scared you'll croak is:



The only male influence I've had,

After daddy up and left,

Were my mother's weekend lovers,

And their alcoholic breaths.



I'll tell you what caused it

If you'll handle the effects (the effects, the effects)

Yes, I'll tell you what caused it

If you'll handle the effects (the effects, the effects)

I'll tell you what caused it

If you'll handle the effects (the effects, the effects)

Yes, I'll tell you what caused it

If you'll handle the effects (whoa!)



I can't laugh too hard, I'm on a diet.

I'm trying to lose myself,

You ought to try it.

Just starve for six days straight,

Oh, it's a riot.

Ev-e-ry Sun-day night.
