12.13.10 (sam cooke inspired song of longing and heartbreak written at 8 A.M. after having woken up at 6 A.M. and going to school on the wrong day)

there was a time when i held you close

and baby you cried, for your heart was broke

but that time has passed now, you've gone away

and i still think of you every day

oh i see you heart's beginning to grow

and deep inside it hurts me so-oh-oh

and i'm sorry if i come off unkind

because you're someone else's baby, not mine

there was a time when you were mine, all mine

but you knew something just wasn't right

you told me that i had to go-oh-oh

and don't you know, you know you hurt me so-oh-oh

well baby, i know that you've already moved on

i know you're happy, that you think he's the one

and i am sorry if i seem unkind

because you're someone else's baby, not mine

your heart will grow as time will slowly pass

and i hope you can build a love that truly lasts

as for me, i'll keep on singing my songs

and i'll keep loving you like i have all along

and i know that you have found someone new

and i hope that he can see what i've seen in you

and oh-oh-oh, i'm sorry if i have been unkind

because you're someone else's baby, not mine

because you're someone elses baby,

not mine
