Repetitions of 3 to get it through your thick skull-
Maybe that’s why you can’t stand the number 3 now,
Or maybe why you stick on the number 3.
Shake your hands dry 3 times,
Better yet make it 9,
Because 3 sets of 3 is better than one.
Say it 3 times unbroken, that way you’ll never forget.
Repeat everything back to them 3 times:
Stop being yourself, stop being yourself, stop being yourself.
Check the lock on the door 3 times,
Check the stove is off 3 times,
How else will you know you’re safe?
You never listen unless we repeat it 3 times.
Obviously you’re doing it on purpose, just to make them mad.
Or maybe you’re just stupid, just like they’ve already told you 9 times.
And now, why are you scared?
When patterns break from 3 to four?
Haven’t we told you this enough times already, we love you.
You were loved. Your childhood was good. We tried, so you can’t be upset.
Maybe it’s because you only listen if we repeat it 3 times.
