When I was young(er), the song "I was
made to love her" by Stevie Wonder
came out. I'm 47 years old now, and
still can't figure out the FIRST LINE!"I was born in ______, something,
something ... and, I THOUGHT the second
line was, "had a carpet sweeper, we were
always hand in hand." Now, I at least
know that "carpet sweeper" is "childhood
sweetheart" after a friend heard me
attempting to sing with the radio and
told me what a idiot I was - "You were
hand in hand with a carpet sweeper?' she roared. Well, "hey, hey, hey." I
at least knew THAT part. We still don't know the first line, though - it's just one of life's mysteries. Arden Las Vegas
