Cuffing Season Clause

[ Lyrics ]

Read the clause before the cause.

Read the clause before the cause.

You slid in when the weather changed,
coats got thick and so did the games.
Said you’re tired of being alone,
but your timing’s always on loan.
I know this dance — slow start, no end,
summer ghost, then you pretend
that December’s loyalty.
Not for me — that’s not my guarantee.

I don’t sign blank checks with my name,
love’s not seasonal, I don’t do flame
that flickers just to stay alive —
if it’s not year-round, I’d rather not arrive.

Cuffing season? Read the clause.
Full intent or keep the pause.
Clear the air before the spark,
no vague terms in the dark.
You want in? Then show your hand —
love’s not casual when I understand.

You said 'Why rush? Let’s just see.'
But I’ve been 'just seen' — now I’m key.
No more drafts, no verbal lease,
I need terms, not just ease.
If you want the warmth I bring,
check the box on everything:
transparency, Sunday calls,
no retreat when the weather stalls.

I don’t date clauses full of fog,
no loopholes dressed like love.
If you can’t commit with care,
then enjoy the winter air.

Cuffing season? Read the clause.
Full intent or keep the pause.
Clear the air before the spark,
no vague terms in the dark.
You want in? Then show your hand —
love’s not casual when I understand.

This ain’t court, but I’m the judge,
your excuses don’t budge.
Affection’s not a temporary fix —
I don’t rent my heart by the mix.
So amend the draft or walk away,
I don’t co-sign the gray.

Cuffing season? Read the clause.
Full intent or keep the pause.
Clear the air before the spark,
no vague terms in the dark.
You want in? Then show your hand —
love’s not casual when I understand.

Read the clause…

…before the cause.
