    The Mister Mystery

    Can you tell me why
    It is that I
    Was “Mr. Right” for so damn long
    Then suddenly
    I came to be
    In your eyes “Mr. So-Damn-Wrong”
    I recall a time
    You said that I’m
    The man you’d call “Mr. Perfect-Fit”
    The man of your dreams
    But now it seems
    You consider me “Mr. He-Ain’t-Shit”
    When I felt bad
    You seemed truly glad
    That I was “Mr. Mope & Pout”
    But what’s so sad
    Is it seems you’re mad
    Because I’m no longer “Mr. Down & Out”
    That’s only because
    For a long time I was
    Caught up in being “Mr. So-Into-You”
    ‘Til I got up the nerve
    To say you didn’t deserve
    The likes of “Mr. See-How-Good-I’ve-Been-To-You”
    Now I have to say
    To my own dismay
    I wasn’t always the sensational “Mr. Finance”
    But on most nights
    Under low lights
    I became the insatiable “Mr. Romance”
    I had to spend
    Many days on end
    Trying to figure out this “Mister Mystery”
    So it took a while
    To bring a smile
    To the tear-streaked face of “Mister Misery”
    But that’s the past
    We didn’t last
    Because you couldn’t brave “Mr. Stormy-Weather”
    You should have hung in there
    See the sky is now clear
    Because I’m finally “Mr. Has-His-Shit-Together”
