It was all just a waste of time.
I should've known
right from the start.
He took my bonnet
and threw it in the river.
Our nuptials ended at last,
and I'm aching from this revelation.

He and me
It was just a waste of time.
For the 32nd time since,
I see how he will ever be.
Waste of time.

Why, why, why?
Why did he do it?
He was like ol' Fido,
but even ol' Fido can bite
when he's got rabies.
The mongoose came and made
quick work of him.

Half a thrill.
I just faked it every time.
Only you wish it was for real
I am proud of my position
in the courtyard room now
They all attend to my days
while you watch in the shadows.
