You stayed with her cos she smelled so good
And you loved her every touch
Music played every time she talked in
And through her smile you learned so much
She could see who was wrong
And who to really trust
She knew bro from ho ho ho
She knew when things turned to rust
It didn’t matter who they were
It was about things never said
Words don’t have any meaning
When you see what’s
dancing in their heads
She didn’t like those who played the ponies
To her they were a different breed
Always trying to be someone else
And having to hide every kinda greed
There go the Haves and the Have Nots
Them and their twitchy games
Even when the gig is well and truly up
The narrative stays the same
Sparkling wine is never Champagne
There go those who try and impress
Someone needs to tell them this:
It’s not what you wear
but how you undress
You’re not getting any younger, dear
You never became that socialite
Those marriages always fell apart
Took a left and you missed Mr Right
You had someone very special
But you wanted everything and more
It’s not about shagging
everything in sight
It’s about knowing
who walks through that door
They say it’s all about timing
When some things happen
and others disappear
Often it means
starting all over again
With no regrets or fear
