Paul Simon 

Some people never say the words

  I love you.

It's not their style

  to be so bold.

Some people never say the words

  I love you.

But like a child they're longing

  to be told.

         -Paul Simon (from Something So Right)

Yesterday it was my birthday
I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed
My life's a mess
But I'm having a good time
