It's about time to grow up, don't ya think?

It's about time to grow up and face the music

Since we last spoke

Two years are waning

I'll try explaining

Just what you've missed

We called a truce

And fitfully we coexist

I'm still loose

She's still with the psychiatrist

So I don't have a psychiatrist

Except on the Jewish holidays

But I still have my son on the weekends

Just on the weekends

And some very good friends

But I don't have a lover anymore

Oh my God

When am I gonna get over this?

When am I gonna get over this?

When am I gonna get over this?

Learning love is not a crime
