There was a time you told me so,

I was your man, high or low,

But that time now is so far behind,

Peeled from us like discarded rinds,

There was a time you said you’d never love another man,

But I know that man, him and all the others,

And when you were drinking up the juice,

Ignoring looks of long abuse,

You told me then there never could be another,

But I know you, I know your ruse,

I know your thoughts, they are obtuse,

I know I was not he of whom you spoke,

I know now our love was but a joke
