More Than the Surface of Me
leann loveland 1969 (Bellflower)
You make me happy, and you make me sad.
You treat me good,
and you treat me bad.
You say hateful things,
when ever you're mad.
Then you're there for me,
making me glad.
You wish I was better
than what you see.
I wish that you knew,
there's much more to me.
I wonder if someday,
or ever, you'll be,
a man who sees more,
than the surface of me...
