The Ballad of a Break Up Song

Yesterday, all I wanted was to sing you a song Is there anything wrong? Yes, in fact there is Our relationship biz Has started to fizz Could you just let it be? And release me So I can go To someone else’s show “Who?” I did ask Is now wearing your romantic mask? Someone from the states? Makes movies that are great Filled with girls who dance And prance Wanting to advance Heroic leading men A woman’s honor they defend She did explain This downfall due to fame ‘I am now with a King It could be just a fling,’ “But I want to hold your hand Biting into my special apple brand” She went on About the Yankee Don Juan Might be running a Hollywood con ‘I will tell you If you promise not to be a meanie and blue He busted me out of this jailhouse rock Seeing me hop in sexy socks We played blanket bingo on the beach Before he made his patriotic performing speech’ “Sgt. Pepper,” she said “Sorry, we are not going to wed’ Thinking back on it now I remembered how It all began She was a fan Down at the quarry where I was a man My buddy’s and I sang She and her friends just hanged Then in the parking lot I gave it a shot Do you love me do? She thought I was being cool Having a rubber soul And on a good roll Earning gold Until an image change Visual not vocal range I must get back Recover from this lonely heart social attack Spread my wings Do my own thing “Take that!” American rat I am now solo and still a star Making everyone happy drinking at the bar
