Fishing for Suckers

So you're waiting and you're crying
all the while he has been lying
you think he might return
so you hurt, and crave and yearn

It doesn't pay to wait
it really is too late
he never was the one
so take your toys and run

If he was meant for you
he wouldn't make you blue
you wouldn't have to wait
and suffer  this heartache

Make a balance sheet and see
comparing is the key
List the good times on the right
on the left  -  the times you fight

List the pain and tears you cried
List the times he really tried
List the heartaches and the strife
List the passions of the night

If the balance sheet is weighted
on the left,  as you debated
then it's time that you should see
That it wasn't meant to be

There's a million  little boys
who would cherish all your toys
but you will never find them
cause you've been so blinded by him

Why do our hearts betray us
and lead us to believe
that we must have this certain one
although he makes us bleed

The world is filled with lovers
that would treat us as we wish
so throw this sucker back  - hon
and get you a brand new fish
