There She Goes
The woman who needs make-up
She wore it every day
Her outfits were always to die for
She never missed a sale.
There she goes
The woman who wears stockings
But Comfortable shoes
And a pretty hair clip
With bobby pins to match
There she goes
The woman who needs to buy lipstick
The woman in a hurry to finish laundry
She sails through the grocery store
Wishing for the promised nap
There she goes
Rushing towards what is next
Hoping she doesn’t see her ex
Finding a make-up remover that’s gentle
Her fingernails always need help
There she goes
Is the phone charged
Does the car have gas
Has her oldest found a babysitter
Will she get some rest
There She Goes
There is always something next
Always somewhere to be
Always someone to see
Always a new need
And There She’s gone
There’s no need for lipstick
No need to track down sales
And why does she need that make up?
Or those earrings?
And She’s gone
No one cares about her shoes, if
They don’t fit, so what, no one is looking
There’ll be no more phone calls,
Because no one is calling
She’s gone
