Forgive me for looking back
At least I'm not on the attack
Living life with a heart about to crack
It's a kind of worldliness that I seem to lack,

Pushing your man away
Soon there will be a Judgement Day
Nobody wants to stay Nobody wants to stay
Guess I'm out of line to say,

Congratulations Baby you got your way
Sometimes I just have to pray
It still blows my mind today
Sentimentality no longer here to stay,

All the cats want to do is play
No sense of commitment today
You're just that favorite pet who ran away
Forever destined to go astray,

I'm going back in time
Years before this solemn rhyme
When life seemed so sublime
Just a Grandfather's clock chime,

I'm so much better now
But I just don't remember how
In a world where they butcher sacred cows
And still admire Chairman Mao,

Strap me into to this time machine
To another time when I was a teen
it seems my soul was much more clean
Now it seems I've lost my sheen,

Congratulations Babe you turned your man away
That beloved pet that was never destined to stay
Like hoping she will come back on another day
Oh no, those dark clouds are headed this way.
