THE SINGLE LOVECYCLE<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I was hurtin’.
\nThought It might be my final curtain.
\nOf that I was fairly certain.
\nThen she came by, flirtin.’
\nWords of love I began blurtin’.
\nFor awhile, we enjoyed insertin’.
\nThen she left me for Richard Burton.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Using sight of hind, I find,
\nThat the memory of her
\nis a pain in my behind.
\nNow I am very sure
\nputting the pain of old memories behind
\nmakes them easier to cure.
\nThat is why, in the moonlight
\non the Isle of Wight, I bare my behind.
\nTwo moons are twice as bright,
\nand those behind me say it’s quite a sight.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

To make a long story not quite as long,
\nthe pain eased, and all the tears dried.
\nI went on to sing a better song,
\nalmost forgetting why I ever cried.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I met a new one, and we had lots of fun.
\nI said “let’s live in the future, we can fantasize there.”
\nShe said: “didn’t your mother teach you it’s not polite to stare?”
\nI replied: “but I think you’re The One.”<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I tried to seduce her by saying:
\n“All goodness comes when you let down your hair.”
\nand: “I’m wearing silk underwear.”
\nShe said: “that could cause a few folks to stare,”
\n“but it won’t get me into bed.”
\nSo I tried another tack instead.
\n“Sometimes life seems so unfair.”
\n“The harder I try, the more pain I must bear.”
\nShe just scoffed: “well back your pickup truck to the door of despair,”
\n“load it up, and haul away your sorry derriere.”<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I was hurtin’.
\nThought It might be my final curtain.
\nOf that I was fairly certain.
\nThen she came by, flirtin’…<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
