lyrics

There never was a time when you weren't lonely, even when it was her that you were with. Now you want her back forever and only, but you'll have to settle for the memory of a kiss because whatever else you break when you fall over I'm not going to let you wreck this. It's time to pony up and pay the bill. It's probably time to go. A man should be a man but some men lack a sense of when to throw the towel in and start again. I thought that it was time to let you know that it's time to pony up, so pony up; it's time for you to go. I've seen you driving 'round outside out house there to check to see if both of us were home and when I answer and there's no-one there I know that it was you who's on the phone and if you don't mind me handing some advice out I wouldn't mind you leaving us alone. Five years it's been and more and still you can't see it's time to just let her go. Take your manly pride, put it aside, or better yet swallow whole. I know she broke your heart of glass and you say you'll never be the same but I hate to see you burning yourself like a moth to your old flame. Now you're running 'round with someone you could hold to but behind her back you say she's not your thing and you say that you and my girl should try Round 2 now you've finally thrown away that awful ring. But if you'd just shut up for once then I'll tell you just once that for just once in your life you might think that it's time to pony up. What's mine is mine, what's yours is gone, and if you want to ask her she'll tell you so. It's time for you to go.
