Today is

. So, smell a rose, eat a piece of chocolate, get some...As for me

IIIIIIIIIIIIII ain't got nobooooooody
Nobody cares for me
Nobody cares for me
IIIIIIIIIIIIII'm so sad and looooooonely
Sad and lonely, sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama come and take a chance with me?
'Cause I ain't so bad
