In the time that you’ve been gone I found another lover.
She pleases me as good as you; one’s as good as another.
She could be your twin: she’s thin, she’s sweet and fine and good.
The only difference is she lives in a better neighborhood.

It was inconvenient when you left me for a week
so I went seeking another one, and it was fun.
I found her easily; it seems to me she’s as quick to please
as you were. If she were to leave me I’ll look you up!

There was nothing wrong with you except you departed.
I know that my subsequent actions seem slightly cold-hearted.
The evening you left was easy but I got lonely, come the dawn.
I ain’t no fool and I don’t wait for what is gone.

It was you that chose to leave town for a week
so I shopped around for another one, and son of a gun!
I got her in seconds flat! She came to me just like that!
I’ll replace her if she gives me reason to…

Maybe I had no idea of what I was looking for.
Perhaps my shallowness kept me a stinking boor
so that the women I choose all seem like the one before
and I cannot make distinctions with any candor.

When you got away from me for a week
I went out lurking for another one, on the hunt.
She fell into my trap. So perfectly gift wrapped
for me. If she flees, I’ll be sure to reach out to you again!
