I promise you
I used to be cute
Till the day ugly caught me

Where a wrinkle in time
Took a liking to my
Body, from head to feet

Like a top 40 hit
#1 with bullet
Ugly went straight to the top

From the light wisps of gray
What's left anyways
Where I accept what little I've got as my lot

And let's not forget the middle
There to catch all the spittle
Protruding past the point of caring

Only to be ****** in
The company of women
No need for the ladies to be scaring

And these spots that I've got
Like connect the dots
Brought on by too many years in the sun

Now the Doctor's tell me
To glob on the sunscreen
As this leather skin makes it's last run

I promise you
I used to be cute
Till the day...
