When Love For Woman Stops
She's almost 40 now, and if life's fair It won't have touched her face or touched her golden hair It won't have touched the way she used to speak my name Like single raindrop doesn't really touch the windowpane
She's probably 50 now, no doubt she's changed The wear and tear and doubt, the lives arrange The wear and tear, and no one there, drives a girl insane The doubt of reaching out for love and getting beat again
There's no easy way of saying it, no easy way it's done The father you looked up to then no longer loves your mum Call up social services, even call the cops No man's ever gone to jail when love for woman stops
She must be 60 now, well on that route Down lane of pure disdain from young and cute Rolling out red carpet promises and ringing wedding bells Gives a special kind of to a girl who knows too well
There's no easy way of saying it, no easy way it's done The father you looked up to then no longer loves your mum Call up social services, even call the cops No man's ever gone to jail when love for woman stops
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com She's over 70 now, way past her best But the one who holds the key to love's treasure chest Doubtless has a younger flame to keep him warm at night Well this old one just flickers in the distant hope he might
There's no easy way of saying it, no easy way it's done The father you looked up to then no longer loves your mum Call up social services, even call the cops No man's ever gone to jail when love for woman stops
Love for woman stops... Love for woman stops...
She's in her 80s now, she's close to death And the one thing that won't let her down is final breath So much more reliable than the absent talk of man Nothing quite as black-and-white as the chequered flag of Ann
There's no easy way of saying it, no easy way it's done The father you looked up to then no longer loves your mum Call up social services, even call the cops No man's ever gone to jail when love for woman stops Love for woman stops...
