Found my girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.
Found my girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.
Found my girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.

Ladies and gentlemen.
Everyone listen.
Once upon a time,
I was looking for dinner.
Walked through the door.
Dropped my jaw.
Could not believe what I just saw.
Stunned.
I forgot how to talk.
Stunned.
Frozen.
Stuck.
Paused.
Boys and girls.
Everybody in the world.
Here is how I found my girl.
If heaven was missing an angel,
she’s on earth serving tables.
I thought I saw a halo.
It was a ribbon or a flower in her hair.
Plenty man want to mix and mingle,
asking her if she taken or single.
But she curve them,
swerve them,
duck them,
dodge them.
It’s crystal clear,
she don’t want them.
Back then,
I used to smoke mariwawa.
My turn to make an order.
Went in my pocket and pulled out some reefer.
She got excited.
I knew she’s a keeper.
It was a tip for her service.
My introduction had to be unique.
I think her number came with that receipt.
Hooray!
Hoorah!
Boy, I got the digits!
Two months later,
that was my princess.
Some call it destiny.
Some say it’s scripted.
I thought it was love.
Could’ve sworn I was smitten.
To this day,
I think of when I…

Found my girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.
Found my girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.
Found my girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.
My girl at the diner.

After her overnight shifts,
I’d be waiting with thrift store gifts.
To me,
it was more than a fling.
I could’ve seen myself giving her a ring.
I would’ve put a promise on her finger.
Forever and ever and ever,
I’d linger.
Her ex left her broken.
I thought I must fix her.
Head over heels,
and along came the plot twist.
I went home for Christmas break.
And when I came back,
the vibes were off.
Long story short,
I pulled the plug before she could.
Short story long,
I found out she was spending time
with a man
living in the same apartment building as me.
I don’t know why.
I don’t know what I did wrong,
so I don’t know what I could’ve done differently.
But if I could rewind,
I would do it all again.
It was a stepping stone;
it was a means to the end.
If the clock rewinds,
I would change nothing
if it t-t-takes me back to the minute I…

Found found my girl at the diner.
Found found my girl at the diner.
Found found my girl at the diner.
Found found my girl at the diner.
Found found my girl at the diner.
Found found my girl at the diner.
How I found my girl at the diner.
Found found my girl at the diner.

It’s funny, looking back on it.
She just wasn’t the one.
No hard feelings.
No love lost.
Love doesn’t keep a record of wrongs.
Love is more than a feeling.
It will never expire.
I pray that God leads me
to the one for me
and that He protects her until then
and forever after.
