It's about one of the best mistakes I never made, for the good of the world...well,MY world anyways.

Once upon a time there was a woman
How many times have you heard that before?
She used to spend her days dreaming of someone
As she laid out on the porch by the back door
When she wasn't painting daisies in the garden she was flirting with
All the lovers the clouds above her would allow
(yah I know I messed this lyric up in the recording-but hey-that's why you get to download it for FREE)
And in those changing faces she might've once seen mine
But that was then ,and this is now.
I met her in a time of changing seasons
It was clear we both wanted what we saw
Our chemistry made us forget the reasons
Of why you shouldn't dick around with Murphy's Law
For in the scent of hunger that embraced us the fishy smell of the guilty had us starved for oxygen
And had I been a man I might've blown it all sky high
But this is now and that was then.
She reminded me that she was ten years older
I said I'd make her fantasies come true
She must've thought too much of what I told her
I guess the women ten years older sometimes do
She might've feared that someone would discover us
Like her angels or the man to whom she gave her wedding vow
And had I been a little stronger I'd've stripped her fears away
But that was then and this is now
Submitting to our urges we selected
A latenight rendezvous to seal our fate
Complete discretion assured and expected
Yaahhh but I found out the hard part is the wait
For she never graced my pressure with her presence and she left me feeling hornier than thou
I couldn't hear the sunrise muttering,"She ain't gonna show
But that was then and this is now.
She was easily persued but not persuaded
though I probably could've had her with hindsight
I don't know why my lust for her ain't faded
A million times I've lived it through the night.
And as I lie beside the woman who now loves me
I feel as though I'm cheating on her somehow
Sometimes the shadows change her face to one I used to know
But that was then,and this,well this is now.
