Analysis of Buy me dinner
Her heels never walked the street
But a fellow she loved not did not greet
So she saught his broken heart
And bought their last work of art
She lost his chipped face upon the wind
And stumbled through life
Gaining more and more hue
One day he looked upon her again
But she did not pick up his call again
So he moved his love again and again
