You've Let Youself Go

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'ld 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
