Not for love nor money
The first time
we set eyes on each other
you were all set to marry another
learner signs stuck to your back
durex wound in your hair
i felt it only fair to pull ya
we kissed
both pissed...the rest of your hens cheered
1o minutes later we'd disappeared
i woke you at...5 with a french letter plucked from your tresses
mentioned the do and wedding dresses
you sighed ...then cried
said the night had opened your eyes
that you now loved a new lover
i thought oh brother here we go again
pulled another nutter.
