Neglect

I've been thinking lately How I've been neglecting you I decided to send you a videotape So tomorrow I will appear I'd love to be there But I just can't this year I'll croon an old standard In a pleasant tone of voice Staring down at my fingernails With an automatic smile I can smell the truth of this lie And still keep the gaze of love in my eyes I'll be looking strong and influential In my office clothes But when I'm home, I stare in the mirror When there's no one else around And practice saying over and over Give me ten thousand pounds Please
