Little Bug¤

A set of lyrics I wrote about my relationship councillor.

Little Bug

"Listen to the Little Bug" she said,

"a constant ball of light he is."

I suspect he may be common sense

and the things that we're too proud to say.

I never knew of Little Bug before

and now i need him more and more,

the little ball off light he is;

It lights me up and leads the way.

¤

Well I promised the lady i'd never stray

yet still she frets and dances like she's one of the betrayed.

I listen to the wind; I wish it had something to say

....My lady isn't talking to me

¤

That little bug he told me, yes he did,

that I belong with her and she with me.

I listen closely to the Little Bug

in fear that i might miss a thing.

When passion and all sense are cold and stranded

I cry out to the Little Bug so damned hard,

he tells me how the world would look without her

and I cry myself to sleep over a week.

¤

Little Bug -

please sing me to sleep!

She's gone home to bed;

I'm left haunting the pantry

I'll get fat on my pain, 

oh, this heart it does ache!

I'm just a pretender

I do not confess all of my rage to her

Listen to your loved ones.

Good advice, for sure. I would never listen to older people when I was young, but now I know I should have. You are wise to do so.
