He's Out of My Life

LOOSELY BASED ON THE MICHAEL JACKSON SONG SHE’S OUT OF MY LIFE

He’s out of my life
Because he’s got a wife
And I don’t know whether to laugh or cry
If I see him now I’d whack him in the eye
But if I had a knife
I’d pass it on to his wife

He would hold my hands
We’d make love on the sands
To think for two years he was here
He had the best of both worlds now he lives in fear
So I better not expand
Or I’ll soon be on remand!

So I’ve learned that I’m not his possession
And I’ve learned that this guy I hate
Now he’s gone and I’ve got depression
But I’ve learned too late

He's out of my life
Gone back to his wife
Guess I loved him but found out he lied
If I get my hands on him I’ll end up inside
And it cuts like a knife
But the rat is out of my life

This is a lot of fun have you ever recorded it with the music or got someone else to sing it. Wouldn't that be fun. A blast from the past. I am going to fav it to pop in on it occasionally.

I do worry where my muse takes me sometimes Maurice - I heard MJ on the radio and next thing this appeared - I think it would be hilarious to record it - do a Weird Al Yankovic with it - was a fun write. Thanks for dropping by I am so glad its on the home page along with your poem at least we get a second bit of the cherry!!! I've seen your comment about cherries lol couldn't resist that one:-) hugs jan xxx
