[Verse 1] Get a real job, keep the wind at your back And the sun on your face All the immediate unknowns Are better than knowin this tired and lonely fate [Chorus 1] Does he love you? Does he love you? Will he hold your tiny face in his hands? [Verse 2] I guess its spring I didnt know Its always seventyfive with no melting snow A married man, he visits me I receive his letters in the mail twice a week [Chorus 2] And I think he loves me And when he leaves her Hes coming out to California [Verse 3] I guess it all worked out Theres a ring on your finger And the babys due out You share a place by the park And run a shop for antiques downtown [Chorus 3] And he loves you Yeah, he loves you And the two of you will soon become three And he loves you Even though you Used to say you were flawed if you werent free [Bridge] Lets not forget ourselves, good friend You and I were almost dead And youre better off for leaving Yeah, youre better off for leaving [Verse 4] Late at night, I get the phone Youre at the shop, sobbing all alone Your confession, its coming out You only married him, you felt your time was running out [Chorus 4] But now you love him, and your baby At last, you are complete But hes distant and you found him On the phone pleading, saying Baby, I love you, and Ill leave her And Im coming out to California [Outro] Lets not forget ourselves, good friend I am flawed if Im not free And your husband will never leave you He will never leave you for me
