On a day without a night,
eyes the green of sea water
and skin so white
you're nothing like my mother
Do you hold him like her?
Do you need him like her?
Is he all that you’ve got?
So you stayed with him again
you fled with him
and travelled in his car
now you’re late to be with him
and hold him
He loves you like words,
he needs you like words
you’re not all that he’s got
but you're all that he wants
Mistress stay with him,
don’t tell the neighbours,
they don’t mean a thing
now you’re in love
By the camber of the road
celebrate your differences,
free your ghosts,
be with him and hold him
he doesn’t love you like her
He doesn’t need you like her
you’re not all that he’s got
but you’re all that he wants
Mistress stay with him
I won’t tell the neighbours
they don’t mean a thing
now you’re in love
(He said) Mistress, stay with me,
don’t tell the people
they don’t need to see
now you’re in love
