this is one of the first songs i ever wrote 

CARTWHEELS People see me coming down the road and smile. See, I've got a million little laughs a mile. Sometimes I'm sad, but only once in a while. You see, I'm the girl in the crazy hat, the one with the off-beat style. Watch me cartwheel on the white line, come and catch the show. There's someone dancing in your backyard, it's probably me, you know. Most people know that they can count on a clown. They need someone to get them up when they're down. This clown does care, though I don't show my frown, so I'm the one with the glassy stare, the one they like to have around. Watch me cartwheel on the white line. Come and catch the show. There's someone dancing in your backyard, it's probably me, you know. Watch me cartwheel on the white line, see me spinning on the die. I'll make you forget your sorrow, just don't you remind me of mine, just don't you remind me of mine, just don't you remind me...
