about

An angry song for a present forgiveness, "Not Polite" has worked out a variety of situations for a number of people.

lyrics

You were not so nice to me.
I was 15 then, only half alive,
And you were 53.

You were not so nice to me.
I am 29, now, a grown-ass girl
And you are sixty-some...
That's not polite.

Don't let that door...
Oh, no.

You were not so nice to me.
You were all clenched fists, you were all bared teeth,
You were huffing on again.

You were not so nice to me.
We were kids and friends, but all friends end,
And yours was bitter-- oh.
That's not polite.

I can't say that I'm regretting the great distance that I'm letting
Come between you and me and the chance that I'll run into you
On holidays.
And it's not 'cause I hate you, or what all your family's done,
I think you're kind of sweet in your own way, and anyway,
My mother's needing some of her own friends,
But won't you let me in on something--
Wait, because I'm wondering why you think that it's your right to go
And act all high and mighty, and to tell me that I'm acting
Not polite.
