Plundered My Soul

Can you believe it?

I won no medals

In this love game

I've been resting on my laurels

I'm a bad loser

I'm a yard off my pace

I smell rubber

And I soon discover

That you're gone for good

My indiscretions made a bad impression

Guess I was misunderstood

I thought you needed my lovin'

But its my heart that you stole

I thought you wanted my money

But you plundered my soul

I started asking around

But your friend's pretty lips were sealed

I wrote a letter full of trite confessions about wounds that heal

I heard some gossip

You become an alcoholic

You were dryin' out

So I phoned every clinic

In the yellow pages

Not a trace I found

I thought you needed my lovin'

But its my heart that you stole

I thought you wanted my money

But you plundered my soul

I hate quittin'

But I'm close to admittin'

I'm a sorry case

But on quiet reflection

My sad rejections not total disgrace

But I do miss your quick repartee

And the smile that lights up your face

But you'll be a hard act to follow

A bitter pill to swallow

You'll be tough, you'll be tough to replace

I thought you wanted my lovin'

But its my heart that you stole

You're the one trick up my sleeve

My ace in the hole

I thought you wanted my money

But you plundered my soul
