Every night around this time

He has to sing 'Belinda'

"Belinda, I love you

Don't leave me, I need you"



He tried to stop a while back

But what is he without her?

A one hit wonder with no hits is what he is



And anyway

He always hears how much it means to people

There's a lot of fortysomethings 

Who wouldn't be in the world without it

So now he does it with this lyric in his head



Belinda, I loved you

I'm sorry that i left you

I met somebody younger on a plane

She had big breasts

A nice smile

No kids either

She gave me complimentary champagne 



No-one ever wants to hear the song he wrote for Cindy

"Cindy, I love you

I need you, don't leave me"

And he can't blame them, they can tell

His heart was never in it

And Cindy never liked it but

She never much liked him



Belinda, I loved you

I'm sorry that i left you

I met somebody younger on a plane

She had big breasts

A nice smile

No kids either

She gave me complimentary champagne 



So every night about this time

He feels the old self loathing

While the old folks in the audience sing along

And he smiles and waves the mic at them

So they can do the chorus

But he's not there, he's somewhere else

He's with Belinda

In the days before he made it all go wrong



Belinda, I love you



She gave me complimentary champagne 

She gave me complimentary champagne
