It´s funny, when I look at you
While not a single word is said
I know, I had a drink or two
But that´s not what´s gone to my head
I laugh and I recall our youth

Perhaps you´ll say that I´m uncouth
But it´s high time you knew the truth
About the way you make me feel
And what the future holds in store
For I can´t stand it anymore

Why should I even try and hide
Whatever I may feel inside?
You lie, you curse and you provoke
And then you treat it as a joke
You know, at times you go too far
Even in front of all my friends
How could we hope to make amends?
You know that you´ve let yourself go

You look a sight, sure you look great
Your stocking seams, not even straight
And that old faded dressing gown

Your hair in curlers hanging down
What could I have been thinking of?
Was it with you I fell in love?
Are you the girl that could inspire
A heart with passion and desire?
I gaze at you in sheer despair
And see your mother standing there

In front of strangers you´re the same
You don´t mind putting me to shame
You contradict each word I say
Why, you would turn night into day
You like to hurt me when you can
I´m just a rug and not your man
I hit the jackpot, yes, I know
You´ve let yourself go

At times you´re cruel, beyond control

Have you no heart, have you no soul?
And as I take a look at life
I realise that you´re my wife
A little effort, not much more
And things could be just as before
You know, you´d lose a little weight
If you would watch all that you ate
A little style, a little grace
And try to show a smiling face

I couldn´t hate you if I tried
I really want you by my side, so try
Try and be the girl I knew
Let´s really start our love anew
I want to hold you in my arms
And then surrender to your charms
Let there be fire, not just a glow
Come close to me, let yourself go
