This is a story a very sad tale

Of intrigue romance and electronic mail

A dangerous form of information

And the perils of instant gratification

How many times did I hit my Mac

Want to crawl inside and take the whole thing back

It's no use say it again and again

Don't push send

Carol wrote about the job's frustrations

What drove her crazy with aggravation

A list of every person's faults

With precise and pithy wry insults

She sent it off to her best friend

But saw with horror as she pushed send

She hit the keys and began to roar

She'd copied the entire office floor

So don't push send

Don't push send

There things that you can never quite amend

I tell myself again and again

Don't push send

Katherine wrote a note to her husband Ben

Using their pet names and vowing devotion

She said meet me at home in a little while

I'll be there waiting wearing nothing but a smile

But she got her answer from his great granddad Lee saying

"I don't think that this was meant for me

It was nice but I think it was for my grandson it's been

Years since anybody called me sugar buns"

Don't push send

Don't push send

There things that you can never quite amend

I tell myself again and again

Don't push send

The day was tough the week had really been something

Jane got a letter that pushed her buttons

She shot back as if her words were guns

Capitalizing every single one

Well she should have waited she should know

E-mail doesn't mix with merlot

She had to write back as you could guess

Plead e-mail recklessness and PMS

Well don't push send

Don't push send

There things that you can never quite amend

I tell myself again and again

Don't push send

Just stop and think when I'm on the brink

Walk away from my computer

Cause you can guess how we'll regret

And feel like such a loser

After opposing counsel had acted like jerks

Joe got a letter from his partner at work

He meant to make changes cut and paste

But sent it off in his efficient haste

Well he tried to delete he tried to get back the note

But the letter had flown and that was all she wrote

The message was polite with professional class

But the subject line still said "what an ass"

Well don't push send

Don't push send

There things that you can never quite amend

I tell myself again and again

Don't push send

Don't push send

Don't push send
