'NOW NOT ON TALKING TERMS'

by Tony Fernandes

When I was a 'Bachelor Boy'

I was living among 'The Young Ones'

And often went on a 'Summer Holiday'

by 'Travelling Light'
While my friends said,
"Congratulations".

I imagined it would be
"A Wonderful Life",
I thought 'Constantly' that

 she was like a 'Living Doll'

with 'Lucky Lips',

a perfect 'Theme For a Dream'

and a wonderful creation,

'A Human Work of Art'.

"Love is Forever", l assumed,
When she sang

she sounded like

'A Voice in the Wilderness'

and I was convinced

She sure was

'Wired for Sound'

When we met,

We were like 'Silhouettes'

in 'Spanish Harlem'

But then one day when I asked her

'Do You Wanna Dance'

She replied: 'Move it'

See you 'The Next Time'.

'I'm your Puppet' I said

'My Heart is an Open Book' I pleaded

but I will still 'Miss You Nights'
with love as much as "Ocean Deep"

I confessed.

And after all was said and done

it was like 'The Twelfth of Never';

It seemed 'It was all in the Game',
as when 'When Two Hearts Drift Apart',

and now 'Nine times out of Ten'

'We Don't Talk Anymore'!
