Take A Look

Look into my eyes, do you see eyes of blue

Do these eyes say, that I will be untrue

Take a look at my face, does it show deceit

Or is this somebody, someday you’d like to meet.

Now look at my smile, is it all it seems to be

Or is it a stranger longing to be free

Now take a long hard look, look at me up and down

Am I the kind of person, that you would like to be around.

Take a look at my skin, does color really matter

Excuse me a minute, do you like me skinny or fatter.

Do you like me quiet, or to laugh out loud

Maybe indiscreet, so I don’t stand out in the crowd.

Do you like me well enough, to someday maybe call

Or maybe I get the feeling you don’t like me at all.

Just tell me the truth, there aint no sense in lying

Are you afraid I will get mad, or maybe end up crying.

You see I’m a real person, what you see is what you get

You treat me right, I’ll always remember

You do me wrong, and I’ll never forget.

Those of you who read this, think of who you are

The distance between the two of us, really isn’t far.

In no way am I perfect, or ever to lay claim

Just your average Joe Shmoe, whom some people know 

And might say that I’m insane

Dear friends, in closing, I must truly say 

Don’t let anyone tell you where to go

Cause you might end up going there someday.
