Zesty Italian/ My Brown Eyed Girl - 2
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
My second encounter
With this mystery woman
Was a little different.
I was out back
Smoking a cigarette
With another Coworker
And she walked up
And said.
I just wanted
To meet you
Before she brought you home
I was puzzled,
Like what do you mean by that?
But
That’s all she had said to me,
And we left it at that.
I finished my smoke,
And went back inside
And back to work.
She was on my mind;
She was getting in my head.
It made me smile,
And I said to myself
I see your game
Zesty Italian/ My Brown Eyed Girl
