So, she came over and they were sitting on the couch
She put her hand on his hand, and this what came out of your mouth:
"She ain't got it, she ain't got it, she ain't got it like you -
She ain't got it, she ain't got it, she ain't got it,
Honey, like you do -
So, just keep moving on."
I used to look for good company, down those stairs.
In the room right next to the kitchen,
and not too far from the garbage pail,
'til I ran into her coming out of his room, face to face.
I wish I could do it all again,
'Cos this is what I'd say to her,
I'd say: "I don't need him, I don't need him,
I don't need him like you.
I don't need him, I don't need him,
I don't need him, Honey, like you do -
So, just keep moving on."
Perfect orange peel,
Oh, peel another one for me.
Perfect orange peel,
Oh, peel another one for me.
Skin spiraling, so perfectly,
curled in one piece
Skin spiraling so perfectly
is how you peel me.
So I'll say:
"He ain't got it, he ain't got it, he ain't got it like you do.
He ain't got it, he ain't got it,
he ain't got it, Baby, He ain't got it, no,
He ain't got it, he ain't got it, he ain't got it like you do.
He ain't got it, he ain't got it,
He can't peel those oranges quite like you.
So, just keep moving on, just keep moving on, Just keep moving on.

Another line that comes to mind is from Sublime, "The only chance I have to feel good even though I feel bad."
Guess I took it differently. At any rate, happy belated birthday.
