Dodged a Bullet

from A Song A Week 2023: Part One by Kate Sloan

/

lyrics

does she kiss you in the morning?
does she cuddle you at night?
does she put up with your snoring?
does she make your coffee right?

does she laugh at all your jokes, dear?
does she keep you both afloat?
'cause from where I sit, it's so clear:
I dodged a bullet that she won't

I loved you once, but then it passed
I was the love who you loved last
& though you're moving on so fast
I just don't care!
I'm glad I'm here & she is there!

does she think your friends are funny?
does she love you like you do?
does she let you spend her money?
that's her prerogative, it's true

the disappointment almost killed me
but leaving was the antidote
I almost feel a little guilty
I dodged a bullet that she won't

I loved you once, before I knew
that I deserved much more than you
I know she'd say it isn't true
well, good for her!
she doesn't know how bad you were!

so let her kiss you in the morning
let her cuddle you at night
let her treat you all adoring
maybe she thinks that's alright

I hope she cleans up after you, dear
'cause I remember that you don't
& from where I sit, it's so clear:
I dodged a bullet that she won't
