LOVED YOU MORE

Love is like doing laundry by hand
Wringing out the pains self-inflicted
High hopes in the rinse he comes clean
Your Dear John letter hung out to dry

I liked the part where you put me down
In one ear spoke ill of my imperfections
Along the base of my spine teasing lies
I rode the moon as you counted sheep

When growing pains arrive fresh fruit
We pick dandelion having long roots
Howling the sorrow of a hounds tooth
An extra alarm fire from a flaming roof

I loved you more than you loved me
Is that letting the cat out the bag?
Giving twice as much than before oooh

Me more than you
Me more then you
Me more then you

Three times seven over seventeen
Yeah, ya caught me when I was pure
I loved you more than you loved me oooh

Still wet behind the ears let you tell it
If I even glanced at a man you had a fit
Out on the town I was told to simply sit
My second thought ain't liking this one bit

I liked the times when you didn't call
Waiting by the telephone wondering why
Time on a trip, the lion pops his whip
But I'm about to give silliness the slip

When stepping up to the plate strikes out
Bases loaded a code for cheating on me
Unable to score low on cash you're sorry
What ya can't give away I dare not borrow

I loved you more than you loved me
Is curious the dog chasing his tail?
I give in as you ride to slay oooh

Me more then you
Me more than you
Me more than you

Twenty one kissin' legal by law
Yeah you taught me what ya wanted
I love you more than you loved me

Loved you more
Loved you more
Loved you more

More
More
More
Yes I did

i loved you more than you loved me
had i to wait the end to get to this point
(or did i know it from the beginning)
love isn't an equation because in the end
you get what you give

great poem Nina, you are well inspired
keep up the writing
