You took my love for granted
You thought I'd always be on hand
My heart's no good at breaking
by Lawrence Block
BACK TO POETRY PAGES midi is "Must Have Been Love"
NOT COMING HOME TO YOU
I'm gonna spend this Saturday night
Not sitting home alone
And I'm gonna spend tomorrow
Not calling you on the phone.
There's hardly time for all the things
I'm never gonna do
And I'm gonna spend the rest of my life
Not coming home to you.
While doing as you please
Now all the seeds you planted
Have grown up into trees.
You never saw the forest
Of reasons why we're through
Now I'm gonna spend the rest of my life
Not coming home to you.
Like a book upon a shelf
But you just don't mean half as much
To me as to yourself.
And so I walk that narrow lane
Not staying good and true
And I'm gonna spend the rest of my life
Not coming home to you.
My eyes weren't made to cry
And sorrow's one emotion
I'm never gonna try.
So I'm keeping very busy
Not feeling sad and blue
And that's how I'll spend the rest of my life
Not coming home to you.
