Hello, hello. What do you wish to know about me know that I'm older? Yeah, I swear I'll stick around if you want me, yeah, I'll be here for you. I was young and drunk alot and there's a lot of things I'd rather not talk about. Maria was right when she said I "should not stick around here".

Yeah, I swear I'll stick around if you want me, yeah, I'll be here for you. I wasn't born out of love and that's something that's always messed me up. It plays on my mind sometimes that the man I hate will be me. Time for me to turn this around if it's not to late to find some common ground with you. Time to get myself clean and learn how to be the best me. Hello, hello. What do you wish to know about me know that I'm older? Yeah, I swear I'll stick around if you want me, yeah, I'll be here for you. Oh, I feel bad 'coz I should've done better by you and I know that all too well. Boy, I feel bad simply for not being around but I know now what I need to do. Maria was right when she said I "should not stick around here". Hello, hello.
