Foolish
He made you a bed of roses, but
you opted for a bed of stones
The good fellows get the ache
The bad folks have their way
All he told you was the fact
But you jogged after deceit
You were his angel- a fine jewel
Now u are someone's face towel
He Loved you like a gentleman
All u wanted was a hooligan
He made you laugh and smile
You gave him pain and bile
His affections made us ponder
And you left him, yet for another
Dear woman you got it all wrong
His melody, was the best love song
You can't have your cake back, never
That trophy you threw down the river
Wife of a beast, why then do u cry
Trouble not God, why asking God why
You have lost a great king
Thought it was a good thing
Grateful he got a new belle
Who now makes his head swell
Love is a beautiful thing
It Brings life and blessing
He will always pray for you
Hope you'll wish him well too
