Sick of Sex

The writing assignment: Write a pop country song with at least two swear words, that breaks three or more country genre conventions, while still being a more or less modern country song. I present Pretty Little Tragedy

Lyrics:

I know you’re not interested, you told me so and it’s alright
You wanna keep some distance, I won’t put up a fight
Cuz I couldn’t resist, and you can tell me all night that you’re
Fucked in the head
But you’re a light in the dark when I’m 
Trying to go to bed.

And you want me to think you’re trouble, cuz, you probably are
You got self destructive tendencies, but you’re a shining star
I don’t wanna fix you
That’s really not my thing, 
but we can relate,  And we could be, a pretty little tragedy, if you wanted me
Yeah

Oh I don't care how much you drink, or when you need to get stoned
I'd never try to change you, I just wanna watch you think,
I wanna see you do that thing where you make sure my mind is blown
babe I wanna do things that god just can't condone...

And you want me to think you’re trouble, cuz, you probably are
You got self destructive tendencies, but you’re a shining star
I don’t wanna fix you
That’s really not my thing, 
but we can relate,  And we could be, a pretty little tragedy, if you wanted me
Yeah

You’ve been hurt before, but I also been through this, 
Put up walls, but I want more, it's a special kind of bullshit
I'm knocking on your door, I’m snapping pictures of my tits…
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, for writing songs… 
Like this

And you want me to think you’re trouble, cuz, you probably are
You got self destructive tendencies, but you’re a shining star
I don’t wanna fix you
That’s really not my thing, 
but we can relate,  And we could be, a pretty little tragedy, if you wanted me
