lyrics

I used to love cheetos
not the crunchy but the puffed
I used to eat bagfulls
until I was stuffed
but then one day I found out
I had allergies
now the only part of cheetos
I can have is the cheese

I have allergies
but I guess it’s okay
the truth is hard to swallow
esophageal dismay
but please don't feel bad
for here’s something true
at least I’m not allergic
to someone like you
I have allergies

I was an addict for chocolate
It was always on my mind
milk, dark, white, caramel
I’d eat any kind
but I starting choking
couldn’t swallow with ease
another food taken from me
by these darn allergies

I have allergies
but I guess it’s okay
the truth is hard to swallow
esophageal dismay
but please don't feel bad
for here’s something true
at least I’m not allergic
to someone like you
I have allergies

I used to devour waffles
I’d eat them everyday
with cream cheese, syrup or butter
so many different ways
But once again I noticed that there was something wrong
another allergy to the list
another verse for this song

I have allergies
but I guess it’s okay
the truth is hard to swallow
esophageal dismay
but please don't feel bad
for here’s something true
at least I’m not allergic
to someone like you
I have allergies

now allergies can be annoying
I can vouch for that
from food to dust to trees
to grass to mold dog or cat
but there can be a bright side
to this scenario
now you have an excuse
for places you don’t want to go

I have allergies
but I guess it’s okay
the truth is hard to swallow
esophageal dismay
but please don't feel bad
for here’s something true
at least I’m not allergic
to someone like you
I have allergies
