You just came in
Smelling of gin
Reeking of sin
Shirt half tucked in
And from that grin
That stumbling walk
I know where you've been
Do you remember when we met?
Your heart was soured by regret
I thought my love would make you forget,
You haven't yet.
I was the clown
Who vowed
To turn that frown
Upside down,
Believing your love
Was a treasure
You'd trade for pleasure
I thought you'd be grateful
Or at the least faithful
I thought my love would make you forget,
You haven't yet.

Why can't I be
The one you need
Why can't you love me instead
I just keep waiting
For you to want me, to my regret,
You haven't yet.
