Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Mr. Rebound

My sweetheart, she bounced right out of my arms

She was gone before I remembered to cling

Was I moving too slowly to catch her

Or was she by nature a slippery thing

Into the arms of Mr. Rebound

Into the arms of clean up Joe

Into the arms of Mr. Rebound

Mr. Rebound, as if I didn't know

As if I didn't know

He'll give her laughs and he'll give her dreams

I gave her the kids and the pots and pans

He'll do for the dash and he'll do for the sprint

But he won't do for a marathon man

Into the arms of Mr. Rebound

Into the arms of clean up Joe

Into the arms of Mr. Rebound

Mr. Rebound, as if I didn't know

As if I didn't know

I know for a fact, she ain't coming back

To tell you the truth, I'm a little bit glad

She may be blind with the things on her mind

But how can she stand to touch something that bad

Into the arms of Mr. Rebound

Into the arms of clean up Joe

Into the arms of Mr. Rebound

Mr. Rebound, as if I didn't know

Into the arms of Mr. Rebound

Into the arms of clean up Joe

Into the arms of Mr. Rebound

Mr. Rebound, as if I didn't know

As if I didn't know

As if I didn't know
