Without Rhythm or Rhyme

Please,take all this pain away,

Clearthese memories and ease my mind,

Playsome old songs that we once knew

Froma happier time.

Allthese feelings you say are new

Arejust new ways to be unkind.

Theyappear like the morning news

Withoutrhythm or rhyme.

 

Yousay that you’re unhappy

Withthe way I’ve treated you,

Andyou’d be better off out on your own.

Butif I have mistreated you

I’llgladly make amends,

ButI can’t do a thing to make it right

Ifyou are gone.

 

I’mjust a man,

I’mnot too smart

Wherewomen are concerned,

Butthat’s no reason to give up.

Thereare lessons to be learned.

Ifyou can give us one more chance

I’llget it right this time,

Insteadof walking away

Withoutrhythm or rhyme.
