Boy

“Don’t do it! Don’t do it! Don’t do it!” we cried.
“Oh, but I must! I’ve already tried…”

“Don’t do it! Don’t do it! Don’t do it!” Said we.
“Oh, but I must! Most certainly!”

Tried, we, to warn her,
But she doesn’t know,
About what’s ahead of her,
On down the road.

She followed a boy,
To live in his town-home. 
Now she is stuck there.
Where can she go?

Laid down her roots,
Where she knew no others.
Now things have gone wrong;
She cries for her mother.

She followed a boy,
To live in his town-home.
Now she is stuck there.
Where can she go?

Entangled herself so much in his life,
They both had so hoped for her to be wife.
Only, now she is not so certain of this.
The place she once was,
Now she doth miss.

She followed a boy,
To live in his town-home.
Now she is stuck there.
Where can she go?

Cries she alone, 
In her empty kitchen.
He brought her a coffee,
But all she wanted was his attention.

She followed a boy,
To live in his town-home.
Now she is stuck there.
Where can she go?


She walks down the aisle,
All dressed in white.
Putting all that she has into this,
With all of her might.

She followed a boy,
To live in his town-home,
Because she loved him
And shall no longer roam.

She’d made up her mind,
She was here to stay.
Life would be tough,
But it would be like that any way.

She followed a boy,
To live in his town-home,
Because she loved him
And shall no longer roam.

She told him, “I do,”
As did he,
And now those two,
Have turned into three.

“Don’t do it! Don’t do it! Don’t do it!” We cried.
“Oh, but I must! I’ve already tried…”

“Don’t do it! Don’t do it! Don’t do it!” Said we.
“Oh, but I must! Most certainly!”

To us, it was foolish,
To follow a boy.
We thought it was stupid;
She’ll empty her joy.

But now we look on,
With amazement, we see
That this girl has commanded her life
Quite beautifully.

We thought following some boy,
Would make her weak;
Little did we know 
How it was truly meek.

She gave her life and freedom,
To care for some man,
Now she has a family:
A wife with a plan.

She looks truly stunning
In all that she is,
Because all of her beauty
Comes from within.
