Leak In the Roof

There's a leak in the roof,
an unsightly, irritating, dripping leak in the roof.
He said he'd fix it before...

Before he began walking out of the door,
only returning when I'm dreaming at night.

He always returned smelling of expensive perfume,
I never spent the money on myself.

He forgets sometimes, I forgive him of that,
But he neglects to see for eternity it seems that

There's a leak in thee roof,
An unsightly, irritating, dripping leak in the roof.
He said he'd fix it before...
