Mercenary Love

You wanted me for what I could give you

You needed me just to make it through

You loved me for the promise of lifestyle

You went along with my big boy smile

It’s a very strange thing this

Beneficial love

Such a cruel thing this

Mercenary love 

You used me even while I forgave you

You came through just that you weren’t true

I gave me for the promise of likewise 

You went along with my big brown eyes

It’s a disarranged thing this

Beneficial love

Such a fool thing this

Mercenary love 

You wanted me gone, that’s what I could give you

You no-more need me because you grew

You’d love me to know the lure of lifestyle 

You’ll go along just as long as I smile

It’s a crazy change thing this

Beneficial love

Such a mule thing this

Mercenary love
