What Boys Say to Girls
1. Did it hurt? ("Did what hurt?") When you fell out of heaven. 2. Did you know they changed the alphabet? They put U and I together. 3. Can I borrow that quarter? Because my mom told me to call home when I fell in love. 4. What's wrong? You're looking a little sad and gloomy. What you need is some vitamin me. 5. Are your legs tired? Because you been running through my mind ALL day long. 6. Are you lost? Because it's so strange to see an angel so far from heaven. 7. What's that in your eye? Oh...it's a sparkle. 8. Can I see that label? I just wanted to know if you were made in heaven. 9. Could I get some directions? ("To where?") To your heart. 10. I wish I was one of your tears, so I could be born in your eye, run down your cheek, and die on your lips.
