Sing to your choice of blues tune, in honor of Valentine’s Day
He was a tall drink of water
with a short mustache
long on promises
and short on cash.
How much is left
when I do the math?
Don’t even have the bubbles
for a bubble bath.
Thought he was so perfect,
thought he was so right,
but a thought ain’t the thing
that keeps you warm at night.
He told me I was pretty,
he told me I was smart.
He handed me a line
when he handed me his heart.
The next thing I knew
my head was a-whirl
‘cause that man of mine
found another girl.
I had to move on
‘cause he disappeared.
He was a long time coming
and a short time here.
He was a tall drink of water
with a short mustache
long on promises
and short on cash.
