Said
Doctor!
Tell me how to make others love me!
Said the Doctor,
Take this pill twice a day
and stop eating fats
Others will come to love you
when your body has changed,
I did as the doctor said
and felt no different
he still passed me by
So I asked the preacher,
Father preacher!
Tell me how to make others love me!
Said the preacher,
Open your heart to God
He is the one
who will lead you to love
Pray child pray
and others will come to love you,
I prayed
Oh how I prayed
But God remained silent
and he didn’t even look at me
as he walked by
I asked the fashion magazine next,
Please,
Fashion Magazine,
tell me how to make others love me!
Said the magazine,
Change everything about yourself
forget what the doctor said
Health will do you no good
forget what the preacher said
God can’t hear you over the wars
Change everything about yourself,
So I changed myself
and tried to be someone new
and he looked at me for the first time
but he didn’t stay to talk
like he knew what I had done
and mocked me for it
leaving me lonelier than I had ever been
in my despair I called to my heart,
Oh heart!
Tell me how to make others love me!
Said my heart,
Love yourself first.
