Valentines Day

Came and left I shouldn’t have even woken up I would have been happier if I had just slept Sentimental is what I am You should know that, do you even give a damn? It wasn’t all ritzy but I thought you’d like it It wasn’t something that you said you wanted so what did I do? Buy it. Went through a lot of trouble framing that picture we took when vacationing abroad Just so you could remember how happy we once were But check this out You know I’m pissed right Spoiled I don’t think so Ungrateful don’t go there I had the v-day thing on lock Cards and kisses in your honor Even picked a nice dinner spot I told you Innuendously exactly what I wanted It wasn’t out of your reach I figured I’d help you out a little and the rest would be a treat I don’t care if you paid for dinner, you always do I don’t care if we went to the movies ain’t nothing new See I asked of you something very small It wasn’t brain surgery at all Keep in mind any other man would die to be in your place So you need go get it together and step up to the plate I didn’t even get a card you know like the one I gave you The one that I sifted endlessly through millions just to find one that was close to true You know what, thank you Thank you anyway But next time (if there is one) don’t expect me to go out of my way Not saying it’s worthless but what’s the point put it this way next time it will be your turn to find out why I’m writing this joint
