She was gone before I remembered to cling
Did I reach out too slowly to catch her
Or was she by nature a slippery thing
Into the arms of Mr Rebound
Into the arms of Clean Up Joe
Into the arms of Mr Rebound
Mr Rebound, as if I didn't know
He'll give her laughs and he'll give her dreams
I gave her the kids and the pots and pans
He'll do for the dash and he'll do for the sprint
But he won't do for a marathon man
I know for a fact that she ain't coming back
To tell you the truth, I'm a little bit glad
She may be blind with the things on her mind
But how can she stand to touch something that bad
My sweetheart she bounced right out of my arms She was gone before I remembered to cling Did I reach out too slowly to catch her Or was she by nature a slippery thing Into the arms of Mr Rebound Into the arms of Clean Up Joe Into the arms of Mr Rebound Mr Rebound, as if I didn't know He'll give her laughs and he'll give her dreams I gave her the kids and the pots and pans He'll do for the dash and he'll do for the sprint But he won't do for a marathon man I know for a fact that she ain't coming back To tell you the truth, I'm a little bit glad She may be blind with the things on her mind But how can she stand to touch something that bad Explain Request ×
