“Sorry, girl. But, you missed out. Well tough luck; that boy's mine now. We are more than just good friends; this is how the story ends. Too bad that you couldn't see; see the man that boy could be.

“Why did the little girls grow crippled
While the little boys grow strong
The boys allowed to come of age
The girls just came along
