one thing i will say about jl though -- it sounds like he really fell in love (or close to it) with stripper no 1, let's call her the unrequited stripper.
(That event with the unrequited stripper not only started my whoring career. It also started my posting career.)
They call me Mr. Pitiful.
Baby thats my name now.
They call me Mr. Pitiful.
Thats how I got my fame.
But people just don't seem to understand
How someone can feel so blue.
They call me Mr. Pitiful
'Cause I lost someone just like you.
They call me Mr. Pitiful.
This everybody knows now.
They call me Mr. Pitiful
Most everyplace I go.
But nobody seems to understand now,
How can a man sing such a sad song
When he lost everything that he had.
How can I explain to you
How somebody con get so very blue?
How can I tell you about my past
If all things won`t end?
Mr. Pitiful
Thats my name now.
They call me Mr. Pitiful.
That's how I got my fame.
But nobody seems to understand
What make a man can feel so very blue.
They call me Mr. Pitiful
'Cause I m in love with you.
Can I explain to you?
Everything is going wrong.
I`ve lost everything I had.
I have to sing this sad song
To get back to her.
And I m gonna sing this song to you.
And i want you.
And I want you.
And I want you.
And I want you.
[And I wanna tell you everything is going through my mind]
And I want to sing
And I want to sing
And I want to sing
And I want to sing this song with you.
[And I wanna sing this song to everyone.]
'Cause I want them to understand what I talkin' about.
I want you to understand what I'm sayin' . . . .
