She can hold onto her own
If it comes to push and shove
She has kept a lookout on
Over what's left of their love
And he keeps himself held back
For both their peace of minds
But he's no less quick to know
To begrudge of what he finds
Ooh, see I should soon
Ooh, ooh, see I should soon
As they watch themselves grow old
As he helps her into bed
Just to hear two things about
Just this talk inside his head
Ohh, I can't tell
How much all they seemed gay
And something in the way she tells me
I wish that I been gone
Ooh, see I should soon
Ooh, see I should soon
