Birthday Do not forget another birthday too The most beautiful women ever to walk the face of this Earth Well, Eva Gardner gets close And it is me babe, yeah, I am your guy I am the one who opens the door I am the one who fights for your life I am the one who dosen't give a shit about anything but you; cause without you nothing works I design you as a poem each moment If I did't feel that you wanted me I would leave; if I did not feel that you had to have me, I would disappear
