When I first met you, I didn't realize,

I can't forget you, or your surprise.

You introduced me, into my mind,

and left me wanting, you and your prize.

Verse 2

Great people don't know, what your about,

They'll put you down, and shut you out.

You gave to me, a new beginning,

And soon the world will love you Sweet Leaf.

And on, and on, and on....
