Patti
That last night
Then you went away
To chase after an heir
Of a rich family
You were not
The only one
Many women got
A gleam in their eye
I wonder about
How that he felt
To be chased
Only for money
Be seen as a way
To get to a fortune
And not as a man
I wonder if he
Married for love
To a woman who didn’t
Know who he was
And left all of you
With nothing at all
Not even with me
Then you went away
To chase after money
