The Rocky Love Affair

I’m dreaming of a love affair
With a woman who loves everyone
A jealous lover comes undone
Because he’s not the only one

It’s not as if he’s never
Held her in his arms before
But when he turned to check the score
She wasn’t there anymore

He goes and looks and finds her
She’s in there with her friends
Sees him, smiles, returns and then
His ultimatum is his end

Remember she loves everyone
Even so, he walks away
She follows and thinks he’s trying to play
But he only sees his way
