Fifty Percent

[Barbra]

Hello?

[James]

Hi

[Barbra]

Hi. You're not gonna have to wait for me this time I'm all packed

[James]

Honey, I can't go

[Barbra]

What, what happened?

[James]

I forgot that I promised the kids I would take them to their game. They want their mom to go too

[Barbra]

Oh, of course, I understand

It's their mother and you can't disappoint your kids

[James]

We'll go next weekend

[Barbra] Okay, great

[James]

Next weekend for sure, I promise you

[Barbra]

Next weekend for sure

[James]

Do you still love me?

[Barbra]

Of course I still love you

[James]

Oh I miss you

[Barbra]

I miss you too

[James]

I'll try and call you

[Barbra]

Okay. Bye honey

[James]

Bye

I don't iron his shirts

I don't open his mail

I don't know all the jokes he tells

Or the songs he hums

Though I may hold him all through the night

He may not be here when the morning comes

I don't pick out his ties

I don't butter his toast

But I feel when he's in my arms

He's where he wants to be

We have no memories

Bittersweet with time

And I doubt if he'll spend New Year's Eve with me

I don't share his name

I don't wear his ring

There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine

But he says he loves me, and I believe it's true

Doesn't that make someone belong to you

So I don't share his name

So I don't wear his ring

There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine

But he says he loves me

And I believe it's true

Doesn't that make someone belong to you?

So I don't share his name

So I don't wear his ring

There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine

But we both have the memories

I have enough memories

I've washed enough mornings

I've dried enough evenings

I've had enough birthdays to know what I want

Like there's anyone's guess

It's a constant surprise

Though you don't plan to fall in love

When you fall you fall

And I'd rather have fifty percent of him

Or any percent of him

Than all of anybody else at all
