It was a Friday and she was a darling bud of May, Shall I compare thee to a summers day? Apple of the Queens eye was young Gemini and every cry out of that plump child was perfect. At least that what her mamma said. And so, she became a Princess that honored her Queen, Isn't that how it's supposed to be? You apples can do no wrong when they are fresh from the tree, but just how wrong could the Apple Queen be(e)? Just how wrong could the Apple Queen be?

Got to Go 03:15
What do you do, when you can’t find the words? When they won’t come, to your tongue. What do you say, when there ain’t nothing left to say? How do you keep talking anyway? I got to go, got to get out of this place, yeah darling. I’ve just got to go, got to get off this trip, out of your grip, yeah. I’d stay if I could, but you know it’s no good, no good. I’d stay in your arms, but I’m already gone. I got to go. What do you do, when you can’t put just one foot, in front of the other to get up and go? No! How your lips say, it’s unconditional in every way. While your conditions, have conditions. I must say. I got to go, got to get out of this place, yeah darling. I’ve just got to go, got to get off this trip, out of your grip, yeah. I’d stay if I could, but it’s no, no good. I’d stay in your arms, but I’m already gone. I, I got to go. I got to go. You know, I gotta go.

Lover 05:18
One eye opens, the clock ticks 9 or 9:30 on a good day. Barely slept at all, know I’ll hit a wall by 3 or 4. I might say something today, I could just say hey Cause I know your man has gone…Away. I know we've never met, but your smile I cant forget girl. Baby i’d like to…. With you… Do you want to be my lover? Under the covers. We could be friends, Friends with dividends. Be your night provider, I’ll be your love supplier. Let me get freaky with you, and I’ll be your chemistry teacher. I know you’ve noticed me cause you always smile, that smile before you look away. I feel your lingering look, the chances that I wish I took to get to know you. I don’t know what this is, but this is. And I know you feel it too, I know you do. I know we’ve never met but your smile I can’t forget. Baby i’d like to…. With you… Do you want to be my lover? Under the covers. We could be friends, Friends with dividends. Be your night provider, I’ll be your love supplier. Let me get freaky with you, and I’ll be your chemistry teacher. I don’t know what it is, but it is, but it is, but it is now. I know that you, that you, that you gonna feel it too. But it is what it is, but it is what it is. You got a man, you got a man at home but this weekend your all alone. Baby girl, don’t you feel it too? Do you want to be my lover?

Princess Perfection, missed her connection and caught her Petula Downton. While, Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet and spun young Apple around. The Kingdom revolted, all praises haunted at the whisper from the Queen. A long silent cry escaped Apples eye, where happiness once had been.

Fade 04:05
No one love can be greater than another. I’ve always wanted, someone that’s true Someone that paints, all the sky’s blue So what if he’s a she, or black or burgundy I’ve never seen love that way Maybe in a moment it will fade Maybe in a second or a day Maybe I could try or Maybe I could lie or Maybe in a moment it will fade No one love can be greater than another, I reject propositions of hate, that denigrate the sanctity, of what that great word means to me. When I think about the one forever more One that’s not a passing phase It’s someone who makes me smile They’ll bewitch, bother and beguile & make my dreams come out and play Maybe in a moment it will fade Maybe in a second or a day Maybe I could try or Maybe I could lie or Maybe in a moment it will fade Now I don’t want to lie to you I could keep faking on and on & on and on Well maybe in a moment, no this, no this won’t fade I won’t waste a second or submit a day No I don’t want to try and I don’t want to lie But maybe in a moment it will fade No one love can be greater than another, I reject propositions of hate, that denigrate the sanctity, of what that great word means to me. It’s love. One love, my love, is your love and your love is my love. It comes from up above.

Say Goodbye 03:41
It’s about loving ourself, we need to look inside and be introspective. Because that’s where love begins, that’s where love begins. It’s about loving ourself. I don’t want to think about, How you deal, how you work shit out. I’ve got my friend, I’ve got my life. Living life without you ain’t no sacrifice. I don’t want to own you, I don’t want to please you, I’m not here to beg you, I’m just glad to leave you. I just came to say goodbye. Goodbye. I am done and it’s no lie yeah. I just came to say goodbye. I didn’t mean to make you cry. I don’t care if you're alone, or what you do when you’re at home. I’ve lost your number, it’s long gone. Getting over you won’t take too long. I don’t want to own you, I don’t want to please you, I’m not here to beg you, I’m just glad to leave you. I just came to say goodbye. Goodbye. I am done and it’s no lie yeah. I just came to say goodbye. I didn’t mean to make you cry. You dropped the clover, so Red Rover, Cross Over. It’s a habit of mine, how I smooth things over. But I did it, I done it, forget it, I’m gone. Drop the mic, it won’t take too long. Cause I figured the way you loved was the only way, and yeah I chose to stay but now I’m here to say. Your kinda loving, I’m better than that. FACT. But, you done known that Jack. I just came to say goodbye. Goodbye. I am done and it’s no lie yeah. I just came to say goodbye. I didn’t mean to… I jut came to say goodbye… I didn’t mean to make you cry… It’s about loving ourself.

But she is me, as I am she and I’m sure it’s not how it’s supposed to be. This can’t be the way it’s supposed to be. Like Adam, under and Apple tree. So hungry and under an Apple tree.
