lyrics

Between workwear and school attire I lose track of my week
I try keeping my shirts clean but get spaghetti on my plate
It all started with this photograph of me, I barely recognised myself.

And I'm tangled up now, I'm a mother of two
I should know better but I'm bleeding

Getting cosy on the couch with a chap who's half my age
Seems so much older, though, and I may seem younger all the same.
His head on my shoulder like that of a baby's
but there's one difference and that is that his bottle is filled with wine.

And I'm tangled up now, I'm a mother of two
I should know better but I'm bleeding

You say the world is toughing up, and you could just as well be right
but I don't think that should mean, I'd have to give in right away - I don't think so
And you may think that I'm some kind of foolish dreamer
but I don't mind, 'cos I've got John Lennon on my side.

And I'm tangled up now, I'm a mother of two
I should have known better but I'm wounded and I'm bleeding
Yes I am bleeding
