I Love Him
Why doesn't he love me back?
There must be a way to win him over
I think I really lack
The qualities he wants to see.

Everyone says that it's his loss
But I think it's just me
There must be some kind of dross
Something I don't have;

What can I do to make myself perfect?
To make him notice me
Is there a fault I can correct?
Or a way to make him see
That together we could be
Extra ordinary
