Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Nina Simone or about the 1980s in general.

Lost in day to day,
Turned another way
With a laugh, a kind hello
And some small talk with friends I know
I forget that I’m not over you for a while.

A wave, an easy grin,
A smile to put them in,
Got other lives to listen to
And some music that I have to do
I forget that I’m not over you for a while.

Days go by with no empty feeling,
Until I touch my hair and touch my skin
And remember you’re gone.

People say to me, “hey Nina do you need some company?
When you have some time to spend,
Drop around-you need your friends.”
They forget that I’m not over you for a while,
They forget that I’m not over you for a while.
