More Than Mine (Alternative Take)

Her eyes seem darker than mine

Her lips are fuller than mine

Her hair, much longer than mine

Hips, more petite than mine

Thick lashes flutter (more than mine)

Her skin seems tougher (more than mine)

Her mouth is more defiant than mine

Her lust seems deeper (more than mine)

Deeper and stronger (more than mine)

But her loves not better than mine

Is it that mine didn’t shine?

Was I just too time?

(Was) My voice too cheerful, too dull?

(Was) My heart too much for one?

Her wit seems more fun than mine

Her moods, more tempered than mine

Her touch, more gentle than mine

Her kiss appears more tender than mine

Her style seems cheaper (more than mine)

Her manner weaker (more than mine)

Her charm is less apparent than mine

Her eyes seems keener (more than mine)

Keener and looser (more than mine)

Coz her love’s not better than mine

Seems mine is now free to run,

Seems mine’s for anyone

Seems after all this time

No warmth could be much sweeter

No love could be much deeper

No heart could be much weaker than mine…
