The Sexy Divorcee

"I aint gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more"- Bobby D

I'm just an innocent-

just a boy in his 40's

naïve to the ways of the world,

don't know any women 

just girls.

Thinking cynicism is

a type of spice that 

goes on pies

I give it the old college try. 

I'm friends with the Sexy Divorcee,

what can I say?

Like a Belle 

and Sebastian song,

everything so right but so wrong. 

The situation makes me nervous,

but

I haven't promised you anything yet.

I bet  she's running late to something better

she hasn't been invited to yet...

I don't see my reflection in many women these days

I doubt I ever will.

But that's part of the thrill 

the wait until-

I'm friends with the Sexy Divorcee,

what can I say?

Listen, 

I had to get it out my system.

Learn about love

from the one who made

vows,  

all retired now

I wanna stick around but I don't know how....

do you know what I mean-

there's no plan,

where there's a will..

do you understand?

I want you to know me

and I'll stay 

until-

You say "I do"

and

I say you "do" too.
