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

Chorus:
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 iffs 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.

Chorus

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
