SUCKER

SUCKER

Your day’s full of children and vomit and screaming.

His day is the office. He comes home gleaming,

Talks of his deals and amassing his plunder.

Are you being a sucker?.

He returns from a business trip wreaking of perfume.

You preen and you pucker as he enters the room.

He says he’s too tired now, you'rre out of luck dear.

Are you being a sucker?

Loss of self-esteem was never part of the scheme of home and hearth and husband.

What started out as love’s young dream ended up in a strange, strange land.

He says he’s out late to put food on the table.

He’s seen with a chick who wears mink and sable.

Did he walk her home or did he fuck her?

Are you being a sucker?

Loss of self-esteem was never part of the scheme of home and hearth and husband.

What started out as love’s young dream ended up in a strange, strange land.

Cut the zips from the pants. One sleeve from each jacket.

Empty the bank account. Get a suitcase and pack it.

Put the kids in the car and drive until your head clears.

So tired of being a sucker.
