A gorgeous girl asks every day
if she truly is beautiful and pretty
and I answer her every time
Of course, the best in the city
A brilliant girl asks every day
If she is smart and intelligent
and I answer her every time
Of course, to the absolute, utmost extent
A perfect girl asks every day
if I love her, if I truly do care
and I answer her every time
Of course and I’ll always be there
A lively girl said one day
she might like to die, to forever sleep
my words choked in my throat
And I could do nothing but weep
My lovely girl said one day
she would once contemplated suicide
those words made everything hurt
my heart broke, and I cried and I cried
My girl, please don’t go away
I need you more the you’ll ever know
so please answer me this time
and promise me that you’ll never go
