If I Have the Time and Inclination
If I have the time I’ll cook your beef,
Clean your kitchen, fix you a pie.
Sit and listen, sigh and cry.
Be your best friend, to both our relief.
If I have the inclination I’ll be there.
To mend your argyle socks and sweep your floor.
Things will be lovelier than ever before.
We’ll be married this time, and you will care
If I have the money, I’ll travel by plane
All dolled up, I’ll surprise you with my pretty
Well laugh and smile and be insanely witty
What am I saying? I’m being inane
You were the one who left me, Mr. Wow.
Broke my heart, shamed me incredibly sadly.
Without any guilt, made me feel badly.
I’ll not be back, ever, I’m smarter now.
