When I was a young pup I made a decision
To fall in love, so I fell for religion
We held hands in church; we chatted at school
For a while we ignored the unfortunate truth:
Religion and I were never likely to last
I was only fourteen; the age difference was vast
Our values conflicted; we’d never agree
Though we had things in common, we’d never be married.
Religion and I, we came to an end
We broke it off amiably, agreed to be friends
Though I’ve never looked back, and I’ve never missed her
I’ll always remember the first time I kissed her.
