She does not hesitate but manages always to arrive on time quite late
and what a state I get into
at two thirty three
when she should have been here with me
she's not even got dressed
I am so depressed
but at four forty four I once again soar as she opens the door and steps in.
She tells me I'm thin (and who's fault is that)
I get frightened of missing her and so don't leave my flat
so, no I'm not fat
but neither am I thin
I fit somewhere in between
and if you've ever seen a lady like her
you'd be where I want to be.

She cooks me a meal but I neither taste nor do I feel like eating just now
I want to talk to her
how
do I say these simple things
she brings in the heart to this home
I don't want her to leave
can't face being alone.

At eleven thirty seven after she's shown me a heaven
she goes and takes my heart with her
and she will get home
after midnight I'll phone
just to hear her voice.
my choice
my cell
and I locked myself in as well.
she has the key
she sets me free.
I wait once again for two thirty three.
