She used to obey his every whim        Love then was obedience She used to let him have his way        Love then was playing along In those days he was never to be questioned       His every word was like a deity's proclamation In those days his every fancy was as good as done        His every mood was to be humoured Now he is the piper and she pays for his services           He plays any melody she demands She tells him what to dream and how to talk about it             Lady luck deserted him the day the tables turned

She used to obey his every whim        Love then was obedience She used to let him have his way        Love then was playing along In those days he was never to be questioned       His every word was like a deity's proclamation In those days his every fancy was as good as done        His every mood was to be humoured Now he is the piper and she pays for his services           He plays any melody she demands She tells him what to dream and how to talk about it             Lady luck deserted him the day the tables turned
