She runs hot and cold like fire and ice
Like heaven and hell, of mice
And main
Two different captains
Running one ship
One is wild like a lion, the other as meek as sheep
His friends have warned
Your trust she’s earned?
You had better run before you get burned
She’s a warm embrace or a harsh regret
A kind heart or a slap you won’t forget
A kick in the teeth or a cold sorbet
She’ll make you sweat, on that we’ll bet
Life can be sunny with colours
Or she can be stuck in a dark gloomy parlour
She might be playing with unicorns
And suddenly become filled with scorn
She’ll give you a nice scolding
Then invite you in for a strawberry pudding
Her smile is not what it seems
Her garment is not one so clean
She’s fickle and weak
It won’t last past the end of the week
She’ll scream in tears
Then beg for cares
There’s no inbetween for this one
You’ll be lost in the web she’s spun
She’s not, she’s rot
She’s not for love
She’s not, she’s rot
She’s not, unlove!!!
What can he do, he’ll ask
In her glory he’d like to bask
He has seen a glimpse of kindness
And she’s worth his patience
Her love is rare and new
So he ignores her hues of blue
But they’ll say there’s no cure
She’s lost and she’s always so sour
It must be on purpose
Her denial is enormous
She thinks we’re guilible
But her ways are questionable
Maybe he’ll ask them to look within
They might see her world is caving in
All she really wants, is for the “good” captain to win
And all she really wants, is for the “main” captain to win.
