Just About Had It

This song could be confused for self-pity, if it were not so deliberately tongue-in-cheek. Much of this is me being self-deprecating. Regardless, "Just About Had It" comes from a much darker, younger period in my life. The first verse is a devastating condemnation of a relationship turned sour, yet the melody itself is catchy and attractive. The upbeat swing of the music has been balanced well by the bleak lyrics. The protagonist may have just about had it with a lost love, but he has also just about had it with himself.


I've just about had it with you
You don't know what you've put me through
If love's just fun and games
I'm ashamed that I play 'em with you

Life's rough when you're weak like me
You get a tan just from watching TV
The sun's come down but it's okay to breathe
I believe in the truth of the moon

And I don't know
who you think you are
I don't know who the hell
that you think you are

I have no answers to the questions I seek
I haven't changed my clothes in weeks
The dryer's broken and my clothes are still wet
Yeah, I bet that you think I'm depressed

I used to watch a lot of cartoons
But now I hit the bottle waiting for noon
The liquor's gone and I've got more than a buzz
Just because I'm a drunken buffoon

And I don't know who
you think you are
I don't know who the hell
that you think you are

I've just about had it with you
You don't know what you've put me through
If love's just fun and games
I'm ashamed that I play 'em with you
