My Crimes And Yours


Look at me Do you see? Do you see me? I look no different than thee I am human too No different than you Making mistakes too Human through and through Why are my mistakes Always bigger when it's you who grates? Out of everyone's mistakes It is always mine everyone hates You lie, you cheat, you steal You should be faced with what I feel The pain I see when I don't lie, cheat, or steal Why is it mine that is what is real? You've lied countless times All I've done is profess love in rhymes Hurting no one through the times But my love is held as one of many crimes Look at that You've been married just after a chat I scowl and scream at that I've waited my turn, patiently sat I've promised everything to my love Something you wouldn't do without a shove My love isn't just a fling, it's a real love Why is it that you're the one wearing a white glove? I see so many people without love married While after a while the feelings are not carried Why is it that untrue love can be married, While with a same sex love the rules are varied? I love my girl so very much But you're only looking for sex and such I want to be with her forever so very much What I want is more than any naughty touch You're seeking money or fame For this you have no shame For me her attention is the only fame That I'd want to gain from this dame Look at me Do you see? Do you see me? I look no different than thee I am human too No different than you Making mistakes too Human through and through Why are my mistakes Always bigger when it's you who grates? Out of everyone's mistakes It is always mine everyone hates You lie, you cheat, you steal You should be faced with what I feel The pain I see when I don't lie, cheat, or steal Why is it mine that is what is real?
