Mistress

Lately I haven’t been around To appreciate your lack of a day But as long you’re safe and sound Our memories will never have to fade Enchanted by your words Yet more engulfed by your side Though the heart will ever burn To be with this other girl for a while (Chorus) It’s not you, it’s truly me She’s in better shape than you’ll ever be I’m an average guy who has his sinful needs With what you put me through, let me have my greed Your cooking sets me still With candles glowing bright And you only have your fill When I am by your side The eyes of one in need Hope that I stay at port But there are times when my issues plead For me to head back to my work (Chorus) Some day I’ll break out of this habit When she is thirty and I quit Or I’ll fire her and up comes another (Chorus/ Ending)
