So nice Of you to come around and say goodbye I don't have to ask if you're alright By now I know you better And you Had a couple kids at 22 Paid your way through culinary school Anything but ordinary And I don't mind Being second place to your whole life To love you is a one way dead end drive But I don't think about it really And I still see you sometimes And it's a fine Consolation prize It's a fine Consolation prize Cut to Your ex-husband showed up at your house You hauled off and punched him in the mouth And he got a restraining order Another round You packed up and left another town Before somebody else could let you down I swore I'd never do that to you And you still call me sometimes And it's a fine Consolation prize It's a fine Consolation prize If you find A kind of love that's close to mine That'd be a fine Consolation prize And if I Hear from a friend That you're alright That'd be a fine Consolation prize
