"Control Break"

To all th girls I've loved before:
through no fault of my own, I
had nothing original to say, but,
using my computer, said it anyhow.

I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE Y^

It's just that this planet's been around
so damn long, and I'm new off th assembly line,
and several billion people will do that
to a sentence.

Cast a shadow in my direction
was not something I made up, either,
but you were tickled by it. No one nice
would want to break that spell.

It's just that they
never taught me how to tell
th difference between my guts
and the whole history of guts, th
spilling of them.

Th boys, too,
they care mostly about my looks
and not about this thing that's
bigger than a sonnet,
bigger than a baby
in my wiring.

Ssshhh, baby.
This is good enough for now.
Is good.
Is so nice.

Do you want to come in my mouth?
It will be like a movie. Yes,
you said,
at some later date I would like to.
