lyrics

Love Didn't Get There First
(Skaith/Jones)

Bobby is bursting, she's so full of empty
She reels like a drunk who is crazy for thirst
And there came a big spider
God he sat down beside her
Its a pity - that love didn't get there first.

When Bobby was young
Young Bobby was ancient
And she fell for a line that was old and rehearsed
This still married spider, he helped to decide her
Its a pity - that love didn't get there first.
Its a pity - that love didn't get there first

A touch made her tremble, her lovers resemble
The vile Valentino she silently cursed
This generous spider, left nothing inside her
Its a pity- love didn't get there first
Its a pity- love didn't get there first

So his face in a locket,
She keeps in her pocket
Its a fate that she has weighed and a hate that she has nursed
The web and the spider, the strands that untied her
Its a pity - that love didn't get there first.
Its a pity- that love didn't get there first
