The man she never knew
The man she never knew
Instead of another trick that night,
The man was an enigma that shined bright.
She knew in her heart she had to let him go,
Or the relationship was destined to grow.
He was the man she never knew.
It all started with a long look, then a wink.
She soon was offered another drink
In this friendly crowded inner city bar.
A little conversation brought her to his car.
They found a room and started to kiss,
Then she had visions of wedding bliss.
Instead of another trick that night,
The man was an enigma that shined bright
She knew in her heart she had to let him go,
Or the relationship was destined to grow.
He was the man she never knew.
All this happened several years ago
When the man went to a strip-tease show.
He came back from the trip to his wife
And with his two kids, went on with life.
The woman left behind has been changed,
For her heart grew in emotional range.
Instead of another trick that night,
The man was an enigma that shined bright
She knew in her heart she had to let him go,
Or the relationship was destined to grow.
He was the man she never knew.
The woman involved in the emotional affair
Tried to go on as she really didn’t care,
But in the times when she was all alone,
She wondered if she’d call him on the phone.
Then she stretches on the bed and start to dream
And think about how real his love would seem.
Instead of another trick that night,
The man was an enigma that shined bright
She knew in her heart she had to let him go,
Or the relationship was destined to grow.
He was the man she never knew.
