Ignore those who would ignore you,
tell them you are to busy when they phone.
Be the user not the used,
the one they walk all over and abuse.

Be strong when they call you selfish,
don't give in when they ask you for your time.
Pretend you are out, when they call,
and remove your coat from the hall.

Your children take you for granted,
just expect you to be there for them.
steel your life back and take a bow,
just tell them! it's your time now..
