I still had the same girlfriend
She still didn't know I existed
I carried on this one sided love affair
Long into Junior high

Married three times all to alcoholics
and men who constantly beat her
Who is to figure about love?
Her brother and sister liked me
I had to befriend them to see her

In the middle of the night we heard
the sputtering of an airplane engine

But injured soldiers were all over his yard

She didn't like me but her parents did
They asked if I would take her to and from school

Told her parents I gave up the babysitting job
Later saw her she was nineteen burdened with three kids
Why was I always attracted to cute girls
Who were attracted to men who would abuse them
