Where Should I File You?
Copyright 2006 by Laura Chambers
Nearly everything in my life
Seems to fit somewhere
I've got it all organized
Friends here, enemies there
I've separated my
Pencils and pens
And trust me
That's only where it begins
My life is alphabetical
Numerical, but not hysterical
And you're the only one
Who doesn't seem to fit
In my well-stocked, color-coded
Cabinet
Chorus:
Where should I file you?
Under 's' for sorrow
Or 'j' for joy
'M' for man
Or maybe 'b' for boy
Where do you belong?
It's confusing me
And I don't know
Where somebody like you
Ought to go
I really do not know
Thought I had it under control
No mess,no dust, no mildew
There's just one more on my desk
Not surprisingly, it's you
I've labeled my
Folders and notes
Put away
All the memories I wrote
My heart is really crying
I'm trying, but I'm dying
Did you know you're the only one
Who makes me change my mind
Every time I try putting you away
Here is what I find
Chorus:
Where should I file you?
Under 's' for sorrow
Or 'j' for joy
'M' for man
Or maybe 'b' for boy
Where do you belong?
It's confusing me
And I don't know
Where somebody like you
Ought to go
I really do not know
I really do not know
Where I should file you
'L' for love
Or 'h' for hate
Or maybe 't' for too, too late
I really do not know
Where I should file you
