A bad romance (1111)

A bad romance © Tony Fallon 111117

I once knew a girl who was in love with a man
She was also in love with his money
I remember very well when the romance began
She used to call him her honey

She complimented him often his praises she’d sing
While they were just out courting
The situation soon changed once she had the ring
And they were no longer consorting

A man knows very quickly maybe the first night
If he wound up marrying a fake
If she is arrogant and not very polite
He knows he’s made a mistake

If the hotel room has two single beds
And it was she who made the reservation
How could this be the room for two newlyweds?
It was time for some sort of investigation

Well he called her a fake and he called her a phony
And he questioned her love and desire
Had she sold her heart and soul for alimony
Instead of a true love, she was just a liar

He then realized he’d been taken for a fool
His money was spent he was very frustrated
This lassie was just crafty and cruel
Thank God this union was not consummated.

Well he stood half-dressed gone pale and pallid
Thinking I don’t think she’s legally my spouse
I don’t think our marriage is valid
And she never got to move into his house
