Without You
Loosely based on the words of one of my all time favourite songs ‘Without you’ by Harry Nilsson
Well I can’t forget this evening
Or my face as you were leaving
Well I held you there but then I let you go
Now you are lying at the bottom of my po
Oh no no no noooo noooo
I can’t text with you lying at the bottom of the loo
No phone calls oh what the hell am I going to do
Now your lying there covered in bits of poo
What on earth am I going to do?
If I get my marigold glove
I can retrieve the phone I love
And dry it out and see if it will go
Oh this is something my friends should never know
Oh you can feel my woe, feel my woe
I can’t text because you’re lying far away from me
I can’t ring and my friends can’t contact me
I can’t cope because I pay a monthly contract fee
Oh set me free set me free
I’ve been told this great advice
If I get a bag of rice
It will dry my phone and then it may even go
If it works then I will let you know
If not then my phone I’ll have to throw
Oh no no no
