He stayed up all night
 just in case she might
 change her mind and return
 change her mind and to return
 
 It was her idea
 she made it sound sincere
 it's a brilliant idea
 she had told him without fear.
 
 When the morning came
 her side of the bed was cold
 
 When the morning came
 he felt the same
 
 This time it will be gone forever
 she will be off and never return
 Only this time she hasn't passed herself and
 made him a tasteless offer to keep her
 
 When the news slipped out
 through a mutual spat
 he defended her guts
 using all the ifs and buts
 
 It was her idea
 and not a bad idea
 it's a brilliant idea
 she had told him without fear
 
 When the morning came
 down came the rain.
 
 This time it will be gone forever
 she will be off and never return
 Only this time she hasn't passed herself and
 made him a dreadful offer to keep her
 
 This time it will be gone forever
 she will be off and never return
 Only this time she hasn't passed herself and
 made him a dreadful offer to keep her
