Three WomenAndy HillThree WomenJanice keeps her room immaculate and pleasing to the eye More frequently these days, she notes She stops to ask herself the reason why With no makeup may she hide her lack of beauty I dreamed of princes long ago she thinks But now a man you know is just as much a fairy tale to me God bless you Janice, God speed the struggle of a woman Susan soothes the broken-hearted lovers every night from nine till one With a voice so full of promise She’s the star they wish upon but can’t become And in his mind he takes her out for dinner Rehearses all the lines he’ll cast to win her But in the end the things he loves in her are what he’s jealous of And he’s gone when he discovers he can’t change her God bless you Susan, God speed the struggle of a woman Men make love to Marilyn a hundred times a day or so it seems Through no fault in either’s character Such is just the nature of our dreams No man looks upon her form without believing That a moment in her world is what he’s needing He’s lost his frame of reference, sends her gifts and compliments Denies the beast he sees himself revealing God bless you Marilyn, God speed the struggle of a woman The gaze in her reflection in the mirror Has launched a thousand lies designed to steer her Into hands that will caress and empty words of love professed From lips that kiss but in the end reject her God bless you Marilyn, God speed the struggle of a woman |
