Oh in the early days you couldn’t wait to get your hands on my curves Now I am getting older, you simply don’t want to know The times you got my motor running How you loved to get me all fired up Engines firing we went the full distance Suddenly you lost all interest in me Cashed me in for a younger prettier model Ruthlessly you cast me aside, left me all alone All I need now is a bit of love and affection Put some polish on my bumpers and I’ll be raring to go How I miss you being part of my life Even after all these years I still pine for you Abandoned when I still had so much left to give Past my prime, now I’m on the scrapheap of life Rusted and Busted Sponsored by Casarah Nance 06~12~16
