Learn to Live With

Kinda hard, being a bloke
What you gonna do
When they're countin on you
Will her love stay true
When it all falls through
You don't know how to feel
When you're searchin

Getting old, looking tired
He's lost his drive
Bought and sold, needs to know
That's he's still alive
Sense of doubt, wants to squash
That feelin inside
Pork pies, white lies
A little misdemeanor
Job he hates, turns up late
He's turning meaner
Chastise, criticize
Takes him to the cleaner
Kinda girl he'd go to bed with

What are you gonna do
There's no interest in you
Will love hold true
When you've nothing to do
You don't know how she'll feel
When you're reachin

Getting old, looking tired
He's lost his pride
Bought and sold, needs to know
He's still alive
Sense of doubt, wants to squash
That feelin inside
Pork pies, white lies
A little misdemeanor
Exercise, compromise
He's getting leaner
Turn of fate, bed by eight
He's such a dreamer
She's the girl he'd choose to live with

Working late at the job he hates
Just to avoid bath time
Plays golf on the weekend
Drinks with his mates
And wonders why they're drifting apart

Go West, Howard Jones and ELO
He's prancing, dad dancing
How low can he go
In a funk, getting drunk
On the cheapest Merlot
Getting' old, looking tired
He's lost his drive
Bought and sold, needs to know
He's still alive
Sense of doubt, wants to squash
That feelin inside
Pork pies, white lies
A little misdemeanor
Job he hates, turns up late
He's turning meaner
Chastise, criticize
Takes him to the cleaner
She's the girl he'd choose to live with
Pork pies, white lies
A little misdemeanor
Job he hates, turns up late
He's turning meaner
Chastise, criticize
Takes him to the cleaner
He's the boy she chose to sleep with
Kinda guy she fell in love with
Now the man she's learned to live with now
