My baby calls me a lot of things
Most of then are sweet but this one stings
He'll say sweetie on the telephone
He'll call me babe when he gets me alone
But yesterday morning as I came awake
He called me this word I think he made a mistake
Apparently he has an opinion of me
Sabotaging things when I'm not meaning to be...
A defeatist he called me a defealist
I'm only good at one thing it's not playin' guitar
When you're a good failure you know who you aew
I've got lazy in my bones it runs in my blood
My mother said it enough I know I'm a dud
But when I met him I left all this behind
He walked me to a tree I finally thought I could climb
It was a shot to the heart it was a slap in the face
To have my lover call me on just what I thought I'd erased
A defeatist he called me a defealist
