Don’t think twice
I passed her by, then gave her a thought,
Courage and bravery cut short.
I put one foot in front of the other,
I took cover.
In the arms of another.
God bless me –
And my strength of character.
I’ve come a long way since when,
I put my lips to second-hand butt ends.
That was then.
Then I expended a thousand moments,
Giving her a thought,
A thousand moments,
Then a thousand more,
Till the moment was gone and so I saw.
But yes, that was then.
God bless me –
And my strength of character.
I take it down and give her a thought,
Something sweet and short,
Like courage and bravery and all those noble things,
And a hope that heaven brings.
Ah, not to fear. She’ll pay me back another year,
She’ll pay me back and disappear,
Not to fear, not to fear,
She’ll disappear.
“A man of conviction”, the ladies say.
