I used to fall in love (Infatuation) with all kinds of birds, There was an early Robin Long before the one with the ring.........no words, Robin #1 had a single-mother Kept a keen eye on us, This girl was totally cute But they left on a bus, At least I think so When their apartment was vacated, I was broken hearted And that is understated. Before that there was Lynn I carried her school books on my bicycle, An eighth-grade romance I wasn’t yet an icicle, No major touching Just a casual knowing, That she was nice and I was attracted Gentle winds were blowing. Then there was Vicky I didn't treat her well, I was beginning to get anxious In my own private hell, Now I know why I had a hard time making decisions, Others had always chosen for me With strict conditions. Jeanie changed all that We were fun on the run, Things got hot and heavy And we almost shot the gun, We played around for a while Even after we went our ways, Friday night rendezvous’ Bored teenagers practicing plays. Cindy was a drop-in Restrictive Catholic parents on tap, But she was a hottie Sitting on my lap, Man, things were hot and juicy But we weren’t really rolling in the same crew, It was a short run romance I should not have stirred the stew. After that I fell in love once more With a younger girl again, Marcia was her name But I was a mess by then, I could not express my feelings And hardly talk on the telephone, I took her to the Prom I was like a stupid stone. It was hard being me Those “incel” guys, I completely understand, There was no internet groove at the time A support group for the not in demand, But, I wasn’t angry at women I was quite aware of my limitations, Which didn’t make it easier Just a lot of hopeless never-invitations. Don’t even imagine That my story ever improved, I got to age forty-five And my world had not moved, Now, something did happen But it was not of my creation, I guess that was the final answer Step aside and just take dictation. Just do what someone else suggested To see what might occur, I tried it and God Dang! I met HER.
