This Happens Again and Again

She is waiting in line for a meal that is free There's a boy with a beard and a patch on his knee She already knows what the conversation will be This happens again and again She asks where he's sitting and is he alone He smiles with his teeth, he's a long way from home He has eyes that are blue, he has hair that is blown This happens again and again "You seem like the guy that I've been looking for Your eyes are so thoughtful and bright How long must we act like we're just making friends When I already know that you're right?" The feeling comes over her once and so clear It was difficult last time when she tried to steer And she asks herself, "Am I making love to the mirror?" This happens again and again "Your eyes are the color of autumn skies Your hair is so golden and bright Your body is all that a woman's should be Won't you come home with me tonight?" Then she starts from her chair in a moment of thought To remember her first love and the lessons he taught And how very easily she could be bought This happens again and again.
