Nameless **

Sitting at the counter waiting for my cheeseburger and fries, I noticed her.

It was the first time I felt like really eating a cheeseburger and fries

Since you looked me square in the face

And told me:

You didn't love me anymore.

 

She is beautiful, I'll give her that

But she's sitting at a table full of men

Burly men, not your kind.

What did she see in you?

What did I see in you?

 

What was her name?

Surely I remember that.

It was this name who caused the break up heard round the neighborhood.

She with her long, sun kissed-hair

(mine is short and black)

And her skin is bronze like a native Brazilian

(I am translucent, save for my many freckles)

 

Come on, you know it.

But then my food came.

And then it didn't matter anymore.
