prelude to P-L-A-N-S (Ramparts)

i know all your thoughts
in the same way that you read my mind
that all turned to rot
when believing became so unkind

now that i have been taught
that there's no sense in giving it time
i'd rather not talk
than be a child just speaking in rhyme

i've been skipping rope
with some girls who have claimed you're 'the one'
we start to count letters it
started out all in good fun

and i swear on my life
that i landed on "_" more than once
they became hot headed
then left me alone in the sun

you read that i checked in the middle of box y and n
and i know that you asked me to go to the dance as 'just friends'
please don't doubt when i say that's better to fuss than pretend
still you'll thank me later when girls start to ruin your plans

ye you'll thank me later when girls start to ruin your plans
