Seven a.m., radio blasting
_____
I gulp a bowl of information
_____
My cereal for me, his coffee for him
_____
Cig hanging from his lips, focused look
_____
I search in vain for the right moment
_____
To say, 'Dad, how do you love me?'
Please let somebody love me
Please let somebody love me
_____
Eight a.m., off to school
_____
Pockets stuffed with knick-knacks
Handing them out to whoever'll take one
_____
Be my friend or just a buddy
_____
The gym yard and I so wish
_____
They'd pick me for once, Mom
_____
So if I give them gifts
_____
Maybe they'll notice my weight less
Please let somebody love me
Please let somebody love me
_____
Nine a.m., I marvel
_____
He's so beautiful in his sleep
_____
I didn't shut an eye all night
_____
Afraid he'll slip away too
_____
Be perfect there in his arms
_____
Pray he doesn't get tired of me
_____
Always be funny and in a good mood
_____
Don't ask what we are
_____
So he'll stay a little longer
_____
So he'll hold me in his arms
_____
So he'll stay a little longer
_____
So he won't, won't get tired of me
Please let somebody love me
