A pelican dropped me and I fell from that acme
You waited and waited, thank God you caught me
My youth zoomed past me as you stood by
I grew tall as you, now we see eye to eye

Like roses in teacups, dazed and confused
Mama I was fooled, tried, tested and used
You broke my fall, that once upon a time
Now I fall again, in verse and rhyme

I’m not the smell he wants, the truth looks right at me
Mama the worst parts’ the fact that he had me
I lived in his home like a welcome guest
He still dwells in my heart, like a mole in my chest

Like roses in teacups, dazed and confused
Mama I was fooled, tried, tested and used
He broke my heart, a perfect crime
To whom can I speak to since I lost him as mine?
