Did you ever tell your mother?

Did you ever tell your mother
about the time that you had another
you told me what you wanted to be
don’t tell me though because I can see

What if we took our time
what if we learnt our lines

I have stolen and I have taken
it wasn’t a very good lesson
why couldn’t you be the one
that I read about in the Sun

You’ve been working in the grocery store
and you say that life is such a bore
you moan about the passing of time
but you never said “will you be mine”
