Peter and Kerry - Split for the City lyrics

My dear I'm so sorry that you've got to spend your days alone For this I curse And my heart valves burst I want to say I love you first In some letter or writting verse But I'm no good with words And you should hear the other guys in my department say things like "you know I'm up at six And I'm out all day Just to earn some bucks" "can I relax okay?" "is that too much to ask?" But some of the time I dream That you slip through my fingers And you've abandoned me So what if you tell me you're going out for cigarettes But you split for the city To start afresh Away from me Away from me Away from me I send you off to work With a pack lunch For you my honey bunch! Tell you I'll miss you much Cook you that french cuisine That you think I like Keep up the roleplay Your loving happy wife But what you don't know and I'll never tell you is that I don't miss you I watch TV all day Drink coktails at 12 I don't iron your slacks Not 'til 5 o'clock 'cause tha's when you get back But this isn't personal Yes, I still love you But I'm not in love with you So maybe I'll tell you I'm going out for cigarettes And split for the city To start afresh Away from you Away from you Away from you
