Abigail, you always had such a bad sense of humor
So I want to make sure that you know that this isn't a joke
And it isn't a lie or some gossip or some kind of rumor
I think it's about time that you and I finally broke
Somebody once told me that you like to dress like a princess
But there's not enough silver and lace here to cover your mouth
And I've listened a while and I believe that it's time that I insist
That you let me tell you what I have been thinking about
Dear Abby, I hate to say all of this here in a letter
'Cause chivalry calls for a breakup to be face to face
But every time I try to say something to you in person
You keep interrupting and causing me to lose my place
You're always complaining that I'm always talking down to you
But Abby, I think that's the least of your troubles today
'Cause you've knocked me down so many times and I'm finally standing
And I think it's about time that I should be walking away
Dear Abby, I hate to say all of this here in a letter
'Cause chivalry calls for a breakup to be face to face
But every time I try to say something to you in person
You keep interrupting and causing me to lose my place
