lyrics

How can this be true
She said she loved me dearly
Albeit only nearly
Half as much as you
She never even picks up the phone
But then again she's never alone
Half as much as you

Especially now you're forty
And nowhere near as naughty
As once you used to be
Remember all those times at the beach
So coy and yet so ever in reach
How can this be true

Half as much as you
I trusted in those things
That I would call neanderthal
But you'd call wedding rings

She doesn't need me, true
Her arms they never cling
She never stumbles, never falls
But she calls…

Through her eyes so blue
She says she’s twenty twenty
But half as much is plenty
For what we want to do
We’re only making fools of ourselves
And after all you’ve still got your health
And half of this is true

Half as much as you
I trusted in those things
That some would call nothing at all
But you'd call
