Ex Wife - 1+2=3

In maths we learnt 1 plus 2 is 3
I've heard a lot of nonsense since...

Girl or boy, pink or blue
Us and them, me and you
Love and hate, bent or straight
Black and white, no shades of grey
Good and bad, right and wrong
Hard or soft, weak or strong
Unattached or with The One
Made to feel your feeling's wrong

Why is love what others allow?
That two's just right, but three's a crowd?
Love is love and love is free!
Love is two and love is three!

The wife the lodger and me
One plus two makes three
The problem you can't see's
The one with you not me

They just want to separate us...

Give and take, rulers and ruled
Haves and nots, foolers and fooled
Local or global, lies and truth
With authority who needs proof?
East and west, war and peace
Rich and poor, famine and feast
Left and right, boom and bust
Macro or micro, it's markets we trust

Why is love what others allow?
That two's just right, but three's a crowd?
Love is love and love is free!
Love is two and love is three!

The wife the lodger and me
One plus two makes three
The problem you can't see's
The one with you not me

The wife had finally picked up one of my calls
'It fits' was the first thing she said
I can see that what you've done takes a lot of balls
'You hurt me, but I love you like the day we were wed
This is the deal: I do want to spend my life with you
But I don't want you pestering me
And I like having The Lodger around and I know he likes you
And I really don't mind if you want to roam free

Free to think, free to choose
Free to do what we want to do
Free to think, free to choose
Free to do what we want to do

And with that I put on my best dress
Loaded up the Avensis and set off for home
My head and heart racing
The music turned up as loud as it would go
As I sing at the top of my voice...

Why is love what others allow?
That two's just right, but three's a crowd?
Love is love and love is free!
Love is two and love is three!

The wife the lodger and me
One plus two makes three
The problem you can't see's
The one with you not me
