While in Denver, a female colleague told me about breaking up with her lesbian lover who would play in coffeehouses with a guitar looking nonchalant. I thought that would be a good beginning for a song.

Lyrics
I'm not coming back
I'm not coming back to you
I'm not coming back
What did you think I'd do?
Well, you sipped your latte
And played your guitar
Like a primadonna
Or a wannabe star
But you played me second
Showed no regard
That's just another example
Of what a jerk you are!
I'm not coming back
I'm not coming back to you
I'm not coming back
What did you think I'd do?
You think we're even
You'll add up the score
But I won't bring breakfast
To your bed anymore
'Cause I saw you kiss her
In your silver car
Well, I'm not surprised
Because that's who you are!
I'm not coming back
I'm not coming back to you
You're a canceled check
Yeah, babe, you know we're through!
Well, babe, it's been three months
And I'm doing great
Tell me was she worth it?
'Cause you sure took the bait!
But you're just a player
Playing little boy games
I deleted you
Deleted the pain!
And I'm not coming back
I'm not coming back to you
You're a canceled check
Baby, you know you're through!
I'm not coming back
I'm not coming back to you
I'm not coming back
Baby, I'm through with you!
