Cleveland Girls

from Cheap Love by Adrian Knight

lyrics

I think it's a bit obscene
Down on Seymour you can see them go
The red and the blue, yellow and green
Is it Christmas already? Oh no
You're laughing at me in fear
but my daughters are all in a trance
I like it just fine when they are near
Life is too short for just one romance
For 10 years I cared for them
They had everything that they could want
I gave them more love than any best friend
They were true to me, then they were gone

Ooooh girls
My Cleveland girls
My pride and joy
Where did you go
Don't you think I know you're out there…

They got me so confused
Were their feelings something they could hide?
I can accept being charged with abuse
But my love for them has not died
A man needs a family
Someone he can lean on in a crunch
Don't be afraid, come back to me
Life is too short for just one on ones.
You caught me at 53
A life well spent as far as I'm concerned
You can put me away, I'm down on my knees
I wish them many a happy return

Ooooh girls
My Cleveland girls
My pride and joy
Where did you go
Don't you think I know you're out there…
