Baby be mine
He said

And I was sure
I wanted to be

I won’t give you reasons
To change your mind
He said

And I believed
Hung on every word
I was his girl

Until
Everything changed

I’m pregnant
I said

Turns out
This was the mountain
We couldn’t climb

And by track six
He was telling me to get lost

Soon he’d find a new
Pretty young thing

But I still wanted to be
The lady in his life
