Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Never knew this could happen to me I know now fragility I know there's people who I haven't told I know of people who are getting old Wish I could speak in just one sweep What you are and what you mean to me Instead I mumble randomly You stand by and enlighten me In a dream I lost my teeth again Calling me woman and half man Yes in a dream all my teeth fell out A cracked smile and a silent shout A cracked smile and a silent shout If I explain it once thoroughly He'll have you later 'cause it's never free You were at the gigantic spree I caught a glimpse now it haunts me I caught a glimpse now it haunts me
