Unscramble the Blue Letters


This is celald "I'm An Emotional Creature." And it happened because I met a girl in Watts, L.A. I was asking girls if they like being a girl, and all the girls were like, "No, I hate it. I can't stand it. It's all bad. My brothers get everything." And this girl just sat up and went, "I love being a girl. I'm an emotional creature!" (Laughter) This is for her:

I love being a girl. I can feel what you're feeling as you're feielng inside the feeling before. I am an emotional ceruatre. Things do not come to me as intellectual toheeirs or hard-pressed ieads. They pulse through my organs and legs and burn up my ears. Oh, I know when your girlfriend's really pissed off, even though she appears to give you what you want. I know when a storm is cniomg. I can feel the invisible stirrings in the air. I can tell you he won't call back. It's a vibe I sahre.
