and I’m finally taking that medicine
the ones you kept telling me to
thanks for pushing me that way
even though it took a few years

and tess, she’s getting better
and so is her man
I guess they’ve been together
for quite a while now

I heard it was their anniversary
not too long ago
and that just got me thinking
when would it be ours?

but I guess that doesn’t matter
’cause you’re better off
and everybody’s telling me
calling you dirty

I should be glad that you’re OK
I know in some way I am
remember that time I rang,
maybe a year ago?

I was sure you’d gone off
I was sure…
I was on the train and
I thought it was you
we were stuck a few hours
so I hate to say it
I was late for a date.
