Divine

They divine the state of mine
While I'm over here with my glass of wine
Charles is a stair down
With a girl in a prettier evening gown

I ask - her if we can speak
Charles, he left with a squeak

She asks me what I want
This is not the time for being weak

Since
I know what is going on
Don't pretend and tell me I am wrong
You don't have to lie
I understand that you're green eyed
I know where he been those nights
Still, I didn't turn off the lights
Can you leave the man
Who asked for my hand

Never before have I
Been this brave or felt this high
But nothing here will change
No matter of how I rearrange

She is still outside
While I ought to be his bride

She asks me what I want
Can't she see it is low tide

And
I know what is going on
Don't pretend and tell me I am wrong
You don't have to lie
I understand that you're green eyed
I know where he been those nights
Still I didn't turn off the lights
Can you leave the man
Who asked for my hand

And I don't care if you two met first
Cos every time he leaves my heart bursts
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Sometimes I wish I never knew

She says: you've got everything
Two lovely kids and a diamond ring
All the men's falling for you
Bet you didn't even have a clue

What more could you ask for
He's the man that I adore

All she wants is him
Of that I can assure

And
I know what is going on
Don't pretend and tell me I am wrong
You don't have to lie
I understand that you're green eyed
I know where he been those nights
Still, I didn't turn off the lights
Can you leave the man
Who asked for my hand

I know what is going on
Don't pretend and tell me I am wrong
You don't have to lie
I understand that you're green eyed
I know where he been those nights
Still, I didn't turn off the lights

Can you leave the man
- Who asked for my hand
