Don't Be So Hard

He became a man at twenty-three

& now he's got to take up all the seat

I never knew he was so bold

I really think she should be told

But that's what best friends are for

& does she have a best friend, anymore?

At home, she tells him little lies

Like she's not in the mood tonight

& when they're out with all his friends

He just forgets that she's even there

He's go this name on people's lips

He crushes fingers in his grip

& of course he shows that he doesn't care

If he chances to overhear

"Have you seen her without make-up?"

& "I don't think he's had

At home, she tells him little lies

Like onions always make her cry

& when they're out with all his friends

He just forgets that she's even there
