It takes a while
before it will be over
with room for someone else
For now it is too empty
where you have always been
People soon forget that
when we have a chat
and laugh at something small
Your mother is great
She does what she can do
so without a man
You know the drill
the neighbour mows the lawn
He's really old
time and again he asks
where you have gone
But if I had known it beforehand
I would just as well have been in love
just as well be that woman
still in love with you
