Lady Killer from Earthly Trials by Onion Honey

To get by in this world, you need man, they say
And I’ve got no shortage looking my way
But I’m very particular about my type.
Say you want a man’s affections, you gotta earn ‘em.
Naw, the way to his heart is straight through the sternum.
That man'll love me the rest of his life.

You’d think that’d stop gentlemen comin’ around, (comin' around)
But I’ve been courted by near every man in this town. (in this town)
One even asked me to be his wife,
So I took out my second best knife.
I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.

I need a man who’s got my back,
Or I’ll bury him in the garden in a burlap sack
Right beside the turnips and the peas.
He’ll find his final resting place there
Next to the doctor, and on top of the mayor.
He’ll regret coming by sayin’ “darlin’, please”.

I need a man who’ll tend to my roses,
Or I’ll put a space on his face where his nose is.
A man who won’t spout tired lines at me
One said my eyes were like blue pools of wonder,
So we went to the ocean and I held him under.
Said he always wanted to visit the sea.

Don’t need a man who’s my kind of villain
I just want somebody I don’t feel like killin’
Who won’t come by my gate to waste my time
If I found someone who was honest and plain,
I’d hesitate before causin’ him pain,
Just speak your mind, we’ll get along just fine.
