I met this woman recently
She's beautiful, kind and lovely;
She goes with a light on her face,
Yes she goes glimmering
Enough to keep me shivering.
Oh yes, she makes my heart race.
They say she'll break my heart
To look for someone else,
But I want to keep on this lark
I say she's not like the rest,
They say she's not like the rest.
So we are on the same page.
Then why the need to stop me?
Don't they see me happy?
I talked to her the other day
Indeed, not like the rest,
She's careless, rough around the edge
She doesn't understand me.
She cares not for me,
The same way I care for her.
They say she fools around other men
She gets them high with her charm.
Then when they are at her mercy
She leaves them stranded as I.
Alone and forsaken, broken
Broken, just as she left me, broken.
Now, I can't sleep, I can't dance
I can't enjoy wine or a good serenade.
I'm alone now, I can't my friends stand,
I pushed them away,
For a good-for-nothing love
Not even long, it lasted a week.
So what to do now?
I now lay with such heaviness,
I've got no will to change
I've got no will to trying again.
My heart's been plucked
I am now motionless.
