An ol' rusty nail stole the air from my whitewall tire
A black cat on a ladder crossed the moon
And I counted 13 steps from where you threw my mirror
I don't think I'm comin' back to you
Tried not to notice when you stepped upon that sidewalk crack
It didn't have to mean our love affair was doomed
But you laughed at me, and said I'm too damned superstitious
I don't think I'm comin' back to you
Chorus
You tossed my lucky boot
You replaced it with that chicken foot
I'm tryin' to figure out exactly when I lost control
A hurricane has wrecked my car, my pool is missing from my back yard
Hell, my dog's even starting to look like Marie Leveau
Now I think about it, since the day that you moved in here
My little parakeet's turned awfully mean and cruel
And just last night my goldfish nailed me with an evil eye
I don't think I'm comin' back to you
Chorus
Woke up this morning had this awful pain there in my neck
I saw a doll that looked like me danglin' from a noose
You can have my house, I left the keys out in the mailbox
I don't think I'm comin' back...I'm pretty sure I'm not comin' back...
Ain't a chance in hell I'm comin' back to you
