Analysis of Just One More Thing
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
When there’s no point to it, I just don’t do it
Accompanied without an attorney
Accompanied by no one seen
Accompanied but not on a journey
They must remain if they’re unclean
If I had this and that then I’d really be happy
But now that I have them my life is so crappy
All that I need is to get one more thing
And then in this life I would have everything
But a reason to go on I still cannot find
I don’t have the words and I can’t find the time
I’m only a flower that wilts in the sun
And soon I’ll be gone when my life has begun
