She used ta cover up 
Baggy clothes and hair up 
She was quiet and shy 
The ring on her finger 
Implied another guy... 

Then one day 
She came to me 
There was no guy 
She was free 

An' we walked and danced 
An' Sang and laughed 
And for those two weeks 
I had a chance... 

Then silently 
She disappeared 
From her chosen path she veered 
And she Vanished 
Into the the night 
Lost forever from my sight 

She had another 
To be her lover 
Now her hair is down 
And her jeans are tight... 
I doubt she frowns 
During the night 

And I go home 
Sleep alone 
No messages 
On the phone 
My life's the Same 
So it seems 
Empty nights 
Empty dreams 

Then HE prances 
Into my world 
This new lover 
Of the girl 

An' like a rooster 
He sings 
As he flashes me 
Her ring 
And I'm supposed to 
Unfurl 
My wings and embrace 
Them? 

No 
I cry an' pout 
An' mull about 
And slink into my icy cave 
When my First 
(the Best and Worst) 
The one who Really Gave 
Came peeking 
Seeking 
Trying to save 
her sanity 
(And maybe check on me 
and give a little wave) 

An' I'm stackin' totes 
Smokein' smokes 
Movin' in stereo 
Thinkin' chicks 
And chicks 
And chicks 
WOAH! 

An' I peek out of my icy cave 
An' peer at the first who gave 
An' then I glance inside my head 
At the recent memory of my bed 
An' then I delve into the past 
Into a Love that will always last 

And Why 
Goes 
Goodbye 

How Come 
Is 
Done 

And like a blinding ray from the sun 
I begin to think I understand 
What it means to be a man 

But to fathom females 
I'm sad to say 
Still eludes me 
To this day
