My Silly Introspection

Somebody wrote and once told me Oh gal, you are really up yourself That really hurt my feelings, Then I though, oh what the hell! I’m really not the one to sit in a chair And nobody know that I’m there I dress up swank and life I thank For the years that are still there I’ll sing for free and I’ll dance with thee Not a Wall flower will I be I‘ll show the kids at twenty That there‘s still life in me a plenty And when I walk into a room I’ll wear my most haunting perfume And you will know that I am there And with friends all life I’ll share Now the guys may not stop and stare Still there are some do I declare Yes I am really up myself] But I sure ain’t on the shelf!
