He comes for conversation
  I comfort him sometimes
  Comfort and consultation
  He knows that's what he'll find
  I bring him grapes and cheeses
  He brings me songs to play
  He sees me when he pleases
  I see him in cafes
  And I only say, hello
  And turn away before his lady knows
  How much I want to see him
  She removes him, like a ring
  To wash her hands
  She only brings him out to show her friends
  I want to free him.
  Secrets and sharing soda
  That's how our time began
  Love is a story told to a friend
  It's second hand
  But I'll listen to his questions
  I'll give my answers when they're found
  He says she keeps him guessing
  I know she keeps him down
  She speaks in sorry sentences
  Miraculous repentances
  I don't believe her
  Tomorrow he will come to me
  And speak his sorrow endlessly and ask me why
  Why can't I leave her?
  He comes for conversation
  I comfort him sometimes
  Comfort and consultation
  He knows that's what he'll find.
