Date: Now, yesterday, & hopefully fewer and fewer tomorrows

And I’m lookin’ in the mirror all the time
Wonderin’ what she don’t see in me
I’ve been funny, I’ve been cool with the lines

(I didn’t understand her little poem that lies)
Ain’t that the way love’s supposed to be

I’m trying to find my peace
I was made to believe there’s something wrong with me
And it hurts my heart
Lawd have mercy ain’t it plain to see
