Merry Widow — Pretenders Lyrics

Love rules and everybody knows it
But not everybody shows it
Not everybody shows it
I had a love but jealous fantasy
Meant love could never be
So I set myself free

I'm a divorcee, but I feel like a widow
A merry, merry widow
A merry, merry widow
I'm a divorcee, but I feel like a widow
Now there's no one in the middle
I'm a merry, merry widow

He was manly, good-looking and strong
But he treated me wrong
He treated me wrong
He thought love was competitive, like sport
He wasn't my sort
So I left him at the port

I'm a divorcee, but I feel like a widow
A merry, merry widow
A merry, merry widow
I'm a divorcee, but I feel like a widow
Now there's no one in the middle
I'm a merry, merry widow

I'm a merry, merry widow
