Lament III (or "Nervous Litany")

How do I get a girl to love me?
How do I let her know I care?
How can I tell if she yearns to see me?
And if she does not, stave off despair?

How do I know if she finds me boring?
Does she sigh and nod or just walk away?
How do I know when she's just being friendly?
When she winks, grins, or smiles at me what do I say?

How will I find a girl who loves me?
Rather than someone out for some fun?
How will I manage to pull together?
Just to risk being crushed, cruelly undone.

How will I know if wie'll stay together?
Will we get along smoothly or not at all?
How do I stop her from getting quite angry
If I won't stop and talk, or give her a call?

How can I hope to plan for the future,
When truth be told I'm still haunt'd by my past?
How do I start my long side-tracked journey
To find someone to love at long last?
