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 forty somethings 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
