Honey, I'm a Big Boy Now

I can see the kitchen light From the road where I park my bike But it's dark there as it often is these days And the gloomy living room Really needs a dust and a broom But I can't brush your memory away Her father was an admiral In someone else's navy And she had seen the World before I met her She would wash and cook and clean And all the other things between And like a fool I just sat there and let her Now I can feed and dress and wash myself I can sleep without the light on Honey, I'm a big boy now I don't know what she does With all the money that I sent her She's running round the town with the Young Pretender I haven't touched the garden Since the day she walked away From a love affair that bore only bitter fruit She took everything she wanted Which is why she left me here With these pots and pans and my old wedding suit A letter came one morning That she would not let me see And from that day I began to realise That she would one day break The home we tried to make For sinners cannot live in paradise Now I can feed and dress and wash myself And sleep without the light on Honey, I'm a big boy now I don't know what she does With all the money that I sent her She's running round the town with the Young Pretender I don't know what she does With all the money that I sent her She's running round the town with the Young Pretender
