Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm the orange peel

You don't remember

But I was once part of your orange

I'm the peel that you left on the floor

You took the good part and walked out the door

And I hate you for that

I hate you for that

I'm the orange peel

When the flood waters reach where I lay

French Broad River will float me away

And I hate you for that

I hate you for that

I'm the orange peel

I'm the orange peel

I'm the orange peel
