I Gotta Kill My Clone

*I gotta kill my clone – she’s drivin’ me mad

I gotta kill my clone, she’s drivin’ me mad

 

I never finish my sentence – she always interrupts – just like me

She keeps eating my chocolate and reading my mail – just like me, just like me

I gotta kill my clone

 

She borrows my clothing and she never asks – just like me

She’s always taking the car keys and driving way too fast – just like me, just like me

 

She wears my pajamas and sleeps in my bed – just like me

So I went down to the office and she was already there on the phone

I gotta kill my clone

 

I caught her dating my boyfriend – I think he may prefer to be with her

Saw them leaving on Friday and they’re not back ‘til Sunday noon –

and I wonder how soon

before I kill my clone
