Love Aint No Longer There

Cathy-Mae acts a new way now she's acting old

She'd lie to know that young guy even though she's old.

It's hard to swallow life prints when shaping time begins.

Her mother's holy advice said she'd always get her man.



She has no time fears

but what is waiting for her?

Never thought she'd be alone

her bridges all burned.



Love ain't no longer there

Love ain't no greying hair.

Love ain't no wrinkled glare.

Love ain't no drunked up stare.



There's a coming up a party if the young man does respond.

He'd like to take her out of there and fake her loving on.

He's been waiting for the prime time while he's mocking her.

He'd like to leave her on her own after she's disturbed.



She has those time tears

but is waiting for her.

Never thought she'd be undone

with issues to learn.



Love ain't no longer there.

Love ain't no make up flare

Love ain't no dressed up prayer.

Love ain't past seasons bared.



She must decide what it is that needs her concern.

Who's going to carry her through the waste she'll earn?

Will she know when to stop ans see herself once more?

Or will she keep on whirling across the bar room floor?



She has some wine tears

but what is it she will learn.

Never thought she'd be alone

four walls surrounding her.



Love ain't no longer there.

Love ain't no fancy fare.

Love ain't no daydreams cares.

Love ain't one night affairs.

I wonder if any man could ever understand the agony a woman suffers at losing her youth, seeing old men drooling over young bodies without traces of grey, lines or flab? Do tell me that you're one of the few that can understand? You captured the woman's desperate mood perfectly!
