     or sky that moved?...

In front of a young lady who looked quite stern
With nose held she plead
Why do that before me
He argued “ I didn’t know it was your turn”

I knew better
- a headline taught me
I hated intensely
- a headline enticed me
I clicked furiously
- a headline led me
I argued vigorously

The story?
Oh, too boring....

More conversation about lira, Swiss franc, and Moldova Leu.

We argued and argued.
I was so mad!
But once I calmed down
It wasn't that bad.

Baby, I'm sorry.
I hate when we fight.
We can't go to bed mad.
Not even one night.

And start over new.
'Cause the one thing I'm sure of
Is the love I feel for you....
