Each one was already taken<br /><br />So I came home to Mama<br />And said: I didn’t find any man<br />She said I didn’t look hard enough<br /><br />So I went out one night<br />To the nightclub; where lights go amber and glitzy <br />My eyes danced and danced!<br /><br />So many men!<br />I wonder why I never came here<br />Why nobody told me…<br /><br />So I brought the gentleman home<br />And gave Mama two grandkids<br />Which indeed made her happy<br /><br />Mama said to bring her grandkids<br />She didn’t ask that I find true love... a nice man<br />Who wouldn’t leave after a few years<br /><br />So many cold nights I’ve known now<br />So many empty mornings... spent alone in gloom<br />Who wants to love a dry, withered old woman<br />Who has two ugly bastards?<br /><br />Poor Mama, who needed grandkids<br />And thought<br />Thought I met the father in a church!Rob Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06507320627534702508email.rob.taylor@gmail.com
