The Hoops
This might refer to any of the following:
I'm all alone but my heart is full
I'm a sunken stone, I'm thinking you're the pool
I'm lost in space, but I'm on the ground
you can find my heart in the lost and found
because you are not like all the rest
a girl who puts me to the test
so why must you be oh so rude
giving me that attitude
please don't take that tone with me
I understand the way you see
you think you're different just like me
I'm center stage as you rant and rave
it's the final scene of our tragic play
the curtains close and I take a bow
I play this role until my youth runs out
I'm all alone but my heart is full
I'm a sunken stone, I'm thinking you're the pool
I wan't a girl who's just like you
giving me that attitude
please don't take that tone with me
I'm not just another one you see,
