You Never Believe Me

You never believe me when I tell you the truth And you always believe that I’m uncouth You think you’d be glad I came home and shed a sad tear Remember how I was abducted by aliens last year That woman I was with should not cause you to fear I was testing her lipstick to see if it would smear Last week when I didn’t come home that night I met a vampire and damn, she could bite Then I wanted to make sure I was okay So I waited for the sun to come up the next day Now I won’t be home at all next week So please don’t pop your cork I have training scheduled for the CIA On a secret base in upstate New York You never believe me, not a single word that I say You know that my missions often take me away No, I can’t call and I won’t be hanging in bars My next assignment is to investigate Mars Yes, that was me you saw with that blonde I was just covering her for James Bond. You never believe me when I’m telling you so I have people to do and places to go You never believe me, you know I won’t lie My eyes are bloodshot, when I’m homesick I cry Please believe me, I’m not out there having fun Don’t look at me like that and put down the gun.

It is so nice to read your words again, Vince. This was a great one to start with. This reminds me of someone I know and his ex is going to enjoy this as much as I did. Love, Robin
