Analysis of What?!

Juliette Aurora 1997 (USA)



What made you want to come back?
Was it because of the other half you lacked?
Was your life driving on the wrong track?
Did your happiness begin to slack?

What made you return to me?
Was I that pretty?
Was I really your cup of tea?
Did I make you fill with glee?

What made you change your mind?
Back then, were you blind?
Was I that kind?
Did I turn out to be your perfect find?

What made you want to come back?
What made you return to me?
What made you change your mind?
