                             TOO BAD


                I get up in the morning
                Past the long sleepless night,
                This persisting hangover
                Makes me tremble inside.

                Haven't had any liquor,
                Didn't take any drugs,
                But I'm totally conquered
                By the spark in your eyes.

                Sight of food makes me dizzy,
                Gulps of air give me chokes,
                While my thoughts keep on whizzing,
                Dreaming you in my hopes.

                Even months since you'd told me
                Someone else was your man,
                I still get sad and lonely,
                I am still overwhelmed.
