Nothing Special I Suppose
It goes against my grain to fight
Men will be men you know
Yet,shattered is my special night
I need to tell him so!
I keep expecting something grand
As I watch the time pass
So slowly as the specks of sand
Drift down the hourglass
I'm losing hope,my ire is up
The broken heart I'm bearing
Is showing half-empty,the cup
As at his face I'm staring
"Is something wrong,babe?"he wonders
So innocently blameless
I feel his weakness and blunders
Why,that man must be shameless!
I worked so hard on his birthday
So it would be the best
A special time in every way
Now he's put to the test
He's drawing a blank,it's plain to see
I'm mad as an old,wet hen!
To him it's some big mystery
He'd better think again!
I must admit,he's awfully cute
And in for a surprize
When he's there in his birthday suit
He might then realize
When I turn him down later tonight
And give him the cold shoulder
His hurting my heart just isn't right
I'm wiser now that I'm older!
