Sussequenlee
by Melissa Theresa and The Frenzy
When I first met you
I thought: she’s pretty
And I got to know you
Subsequently

You said, “Chelsea here.”
Now we’ve been together

Please double confirm (sic) or else we lost (sic) the house
Furthermore therefore (sic)
Furthermore therefore
Furthermore therefore
Furthermore therefore (Subsequently)
Furthermore therefore
