Chica

Hey, chica
this is me
I was wondering if I had a good
time
last night
Did you notice?
but
thanks for a good time
and I was hoping maybe you could
tell me
if I said anything that I meant
to anyone
last night
and don't even bother telling me
I was incoherent
because I don't even care anymore
besides I've known all these people
for years
and by now you can be sure
that I know I don't like them
but I do wish everyone thought
I was special!
