Miss Butters Lament

                     
Waiting around for the first breath of spring
                   
Nobody else seems to care
    
She waits patiently for the knowledge that she will
                       
Have so much to give to someone

Waiting around for the knock at the door
Gentleman callers beware
Hoping to see all the flowers and candy he’s offered her
In every dream she’s ever had, 
     
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

                                           
She don’t mind all the waiting around for someone to come along
                              
Knows she’s about to be found before too long
  
Waiting around for the first breath of spring
She never noticed the snow on the ground
Spring never made it, somebody delayed it
                       
For her again and the year before and the year before
And the year before, And the year before
