How to break a heart

It is not difficult

Anyone can do it

So could you, if you tried

Just find a light

And switch it off

As easy as blinking

That's what I was taught

When I was too young to ask

By ladies in white nightgowns

In dripping weeds and black ribbons

A girl's best friend is a small handgun

The question was useless

For I could say yes

But you've got to ask my army

And they are not inclined to grant favours just now
