A sanctuary in cyberspace, but every love story ends. (Facebooooook.....) Why'd you have to go and lose your exclusivity? Now all my nightmares have come true... my mom just friended me!

She washed the colors with the whites and posted "laundry fail" ('cause now)... CHORUS My mom's on Facebook. She found a new way to nag me. My mom's on Facebook. Comments whenever friends tag me. My mom's on Facebook. She only got it to stalk me. My mom's on Facebook. My childhood photos cock-block me. My wall is not for e-mail, mom, you'll never get it right.
