I have loved, I have got hurt. I pick my feet up ready to run I stumble and fall, so quickly to go I have loved, I have got hurt. I see your beautiful face and smile I touch you and quiver I have loved, I have got hurt. I talk to you and believe you listen My words are kind and sweet I have loved, I have got hurt. I look in your eyes for the answer I search and find nothing I have loved, I have got hurt. I yell and hollering, hoping you hear I notice your numbness and give up I have loved, I have got hurt. I been here before, why don't anyone listen I try my best to keep what we had I have loved, I have got hurt. I wonder if you or even us is worth it I ask you but with hesitation there's no reply I have loved, I have got hurt. I want to know if it's me or you I want to see if we can work it through I have loved, I have got hurt. I cry and remember past pains I am back to where I began I have loved, I have got hurt.

You can wear it going to Church, or by the tele watching Lurch, you could wear it to do the wash, or when cooking stew or squash. Frosty Freeze is like Carvel, always had this great old smell, frozen custard, ain't it grand, lots of trips to that old stand, Werner Brooks and A & W, didn't have Wawa or VW. Thought this shirt might have some power, to take old cancer to the shower, to make you laugh and push that bug, with a big old "Frap" and a giant mug.
