You had the chance To regroup and revisit your healing But you hastily dismissed Sorting out those messy feelings I had hoped you'd take the letdown As a lesson in personal growth Take some time for yourself, be single, Heal your wounds, for what it's worth But instead, along came number two Showing her interest on New Year's Eve This one from another other office, An acquaintance, a work colleague Hey, what's another 'opportune distraction' A diversion of sorts to fill up that space Who wants to be sad and lonely When you can focus on a pretty face? A little enticing, this new routine of yours Whatever happened to the game of cat and mouse? Three-hour drives, six hours round-trip Heck no, just jump on in and start playing house!
