Don't Kiss The Broken One

There was old man joe who dumped his poor wife

For a lady much like the one that he had

She'd followed him soundly for the months that had passed

No complaining or moaning, why did he not last?

But only the man of god he knew all

Next confession he said to joe, why'd you fall?

I cant give you grace, you've hurt 19 women

And joe made no reasons except one that we know…

He was the one that was hurt long ago.

So don't kiss the broken one

It will never resolve what you have just done

They'll hang onto thoughts in hope of one day

Repeating the same situation each way

Of falling in love, then being alone.

It's a drug that only some will bring home

They'll take it again to make sure that they live

Broken and wanting someone else to give.

Its not only men that play at this game

The women are worse, its just not so plain

Take lady bee, a lady of such, who had servants in rows and handbags to clutch

But her heart was locked as a maid's first love

Once one man would touch it she'd give them the shoe

And this is what most of the townspeople knew.

That she had to treat them the way she'd been had

Left by her true love, stranded and sad.
