The Bereft Man's Song

I've all my wisdom teeth

Two up top, two beneath

And yet I'll recognise

My mouth says things that aren't so wise

But when I sing my darling's praise

I know I'm right, or close anyways

For she's a gem upon this earth

I know to me she will return

CHORUS

Oh I know it's true, I know it's true

That I was made for her, and she me too

And I'm confident that she'll think so too

And she'll be coming back...soon

Mornings we have toast and tea

I gaze across the table, she glares right back at me

And when we're getting low on jam

I give her the last spoonful, that's just the way I am

And I drive her to work each day

Even though it's early and work is far away

And I don't even say a thing

When she plays the radio so loud you cannot think

[chorus]

I can't stand her goddamned friends

But I will tolerate them, even though I hate them

And I will put up with her parents

'cause she says I'll not meet someone who is so kind and sweet

Ever again...

[chorus]

I've all my wisdom teeth

Two up top, two beneath

And yet I'll recognise

My mouth says things that aren't so wise

But when I sing my darling's praise

I know I'm right, or close anyways

For she's a gem upon this earth

I know to me she will return

[chorus]

Yeah she'll be coming back...soon
