You Left Me For Another Girl
You Left me For Another Girl
by *MichaelOrtega

I loved to touch your little pearl
The deepness in your song and heart
You left me for another girl
I was the wrong guy for the part

We met in school in Santa Fe
You played guitar and sang
You wore your clothes like in a play
It seemed you had a plan

I fell in love in spite of logic
You seemed to love me too
But really it was biologic
The one you loved was Sue!

Sue was crazy…that I knew…
She belched and loved to twirl
Inevitably you fell in love
And left me for a girl

I look back, now and then, and think of us
And what it might have been
I laugh and think, "What was the fuss?"
You were fat and had bad skin!

So I tell myself it wasn't meant to be
I really didn't want you
But that's a lie I tell myself
Because I cannot face what's true

It's your differences that made me love
You danced to a different drum
It's your spirit I was in awe of
You made me tremble and succumb
