She asked me who he was and
where he came from

I said how should I know?
I'm the new girl in town

and I had heard somewhere
that is was getting popular

to throw your girl to the curb

But she never was...
his girl...
now was she?

Did what I could
and believe me they would
Creating the illusion
For me to unfold

and was there a second thought
about the cards that were played
if this were poker
I would have stayed

without an inkling of a doubt
and not enough clout
I exited stage left
and turned it all around

never was very good at acting
and I didn't fit the part
getting a life now
took my head start

so with eyes wide shut
I take another glance
hindsight is foresight
and I took a risky chance

right or wrong?
I'm sure someday I'll know...
It always comes out in the wash
Hope it's not an overflow...

Ahhh . . . You never can find happiness . . . lust . . . or love unless you take your toe out of the water and just dive in. Go for it! Take what you can. Life is much too short not to.

Love that concept. Too many of us never learn from the past no matter how much time we spend looking back. The chances are just too enticing I guess.
