First there was Kim, who I patched up with John
Babies and marriage until it went all wrong
Jagged and bleeding, I stitched up with Chris
He held me together, then fell apart himself
Scraped, bruised and bleeding, I applied a salve of Rick
I tried two applications but couldn't make it stick
Shattered and broken, he damaged my heart
This time when I checked in, the doctor, he said
All along they've been placebos, this panacea of men
It's time for a new drug, in experimental phase
He handed me a bottle and said take twice a day
It's rare and it's potent, it's called
SELF-ESTEEM*
