Who is she really, I want to know
Why is she asking for my dough
“I'll take an Apple Gift Card, and I can stay online”
Why yes, why not, after all I'm on Cloud Nine

“Hey Baby, I need a new iPhone”
Then a little bit more is shown
What am I doing? Soon I'll be broke
I need to stop! This is some sort of joke

“Honey, I really need money for my Medication”
“And I really admire your love and dedication”
I can't give you any more money
“Why are you stopping now, Honey?”

This isn't right, why are you doing this to me?
“Baby, I really need the money, you see”
Listen, no more money, is going out to you
“You don't love me any more, I'm feeling blue”
She put on a show, acted out a crying fit
By this time, I wasn't falling for any of it

Remember, there are all sorts of scammers out there.
They will try anything to get your money. They will
reel you in and keep you on the hook. You'll turn into
their money slave. Unless you realize what is happening
right away, and stop it. They may seem sweet, but they
are just out for your money. I've been reading a lot about
scammers, so please be careful on the internet.
