Twist of Fate







I thought we  could make it, if given half a chance,
never dreaming it would be our last dance.
It's just not fair for life to be so cruel!

I loved you so much and tried for so long
to convince you that loving me wasn't wrong.
Now you think I was playing you for a fool!

I put up with a lot of  'cause you were The One;
stuck by you even when I knew it was dumb.
You put me through hell, but I was 'in love'!

But, as fate would have it, I came into money
and then you decided you wanted only me.
Seems all you needed was that one little shove.

Now I'm not stupid; I knew the score.
But when you started calling me a whore
after I was the one paying all the bills!

The love is gone. I don't care anymore.
It felt good to be able to show you the door.
And no, I'm not putting you in my will!
