SALLY

Sally, I thought you were so beautiful,
I wanted to know what your eyes wouldn’t show
‘neath those perfect eyelashes and glitter and glow,
Suffice it to say that I was a fan,
I would have kissed you if I were a man,
It didn’t occur to me that I can,
Just as soon as I saw you, my courage ran,

And besides I was too busy dreaming of dresses and rings
To consider the sheer openness of things,
I wanted smooth legs and smooth arms,
Smooth man, with sweet charms,
What I wouldn’t do for my dreams to come true,

Sally, I say this in vain,
Attraction and jealousy are almost the same,
Either way I was left feeling shame
When that perfect complexion caused a sweet sort of pain,

Sally, I still got a picture of you,
It’s got nothing to do with the girl I once knew,
And maybe that’s why we take pictures always
So we can freeze things in frames and then silently gaze,

Oh, can we all just agree
that beauty is quite a great mystery
And I just want to understand
How to grasp it with my little ugly hand,
Sally..
