She was a very pretty girl, she had so many friends Life was one big party, the fun it never ends She had so many suitors, they all had played their parts She played it fast and loose, a string of broken hearts If life was so much fun, why was she so alone She was tired of being fake, her heart had turned to stone She wanted someone genuine, she was ready to atone He came into her life as if upon a cyclone He came in out of nowhere, he blew in with the wind She thought he was the one that could take away her sin He was cool beyond degree, he had a silver tongue She fell for every line, her heart had come undone He played her like a harp, he fondled every string She was totally in love, she was ready for the ring But life can be capricious, it's fraught with irony He left her at the alter, he was nothing but a phony In a subtle twist of fate he had given her the boot She now experienced life on the other foot A lesson to be learned, something that you should know The paradox of life: You reap just what you sow.
