Analysis of Done And Yet Undone
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Done and yet not done.
Done and yet to be undone.
Done and yet not done.
Done and yet to be undone.
Hoping one day you will see me,
As the one for you to be.
And not one you hear it told,
From others I'm a jigolo.
Those the both of us don't know.
Spreading rumors then to go.
Done to do and yet undone,
To prove to you I am the one.
Who will stay honest and true.
And tell you everything I do.
Yes I've made mistakes before.
To learn from them and not ignore.
Perhaps that's why others warn you,
Someone else is better you can give your love!
Done and yet to be undone.
I know I'm the only one for you.
No doubt about it.
You have captured my heart.
There's no doubt about it.
Only you possess that 'IT' I can not quit.
No doubt it.
And you've got to notice,
Me for and you for me make a perfect fit.
As if,
We were meant by God to be together.
You've got my nose wide opened.
And it won't be closed soon.
You've got my nose wide opened.
Leaving little air to breathe.
I'm yet not done.
Until I hear you say,
Come get it.
No I'm not yet,
Until I hear you say I've got it.
And come and get from you to give!
