A Pitiful Man

He's just a pitiful man

I'll never understand

What drives someone to be so unkind

All I know is that love makes you blind

He kept you away from all you held dear

Only 'bout his money did he really care

What good is a fortune piling up to the sky

You can't take it with you the day that you die

He spoke of affection, but talk is cheap

You changed your name, just to suite that creep

Then he took your heart and locked it up in a cage

Slashed your memory with a killer's blade

He's just a pitiful man, I'll never understand

What drives someone to be so unkind

All I know is that love makes you blind

He kept you away from all you held dear

Only 'bout his money did he really care

What good is a fortune piling up to the sky

You can't take it with you the day that you die

In church when you lay there

And we said our goodbyes

We heard a story we could not recognise

He'd altered the truth to fit his own lies

When they read the will he had an alibi

You can't buy happiness, kindness or love

One day he'll answer to the Lord up above

He can think that he came up on top

But all he is, is what he's got

He's just a pitiful man, I'll never understand

What drives someone to be so unkind

All I know is that love makes you blind

He kept you away from all you held dear

So afraid he'd have to share

You can have a fortune piling up to the sky

But you can't take it with you the day that you die

You can have a fortune piling up to the sky

But you can't take it with you the day that you die
