I met this girl called Jen, and I think it was love at first sight.
I chased and chased so hard it really was a fight,
Then she said yes and oh my god how good it felt,
I was in love, head over heels and way out of sight.
Two years on she walked down the aisle, looking so good,
And then she said yes, I didnt know if she would,
We exchanged our vows, with family and friends all looking on,
I felt so happy, because I knew we were one.
A couple of years on, and lots of days were blue,
Times were hard but we muddled through,
We moved to a new house in Mirdif we Did,
Jenny & I, and the dogs we call the kids.
We argued about money, about getting a job, I did not have,
Then a job turned up and down to Abu Dhabi I would drive,
I paid all my debts and for Jenny and I life got better,
We sat and talked about kids and the future.
Then in January my father got ill,
I asked Jen if we could pay all his bills,
She agreed and I just took it for granted, how stupid,
We bought him a house with the promise of land.
Things werent so good as we shouted, argued and cried,
The 8th of September came and my Dad he died,
Id lost my Dad again and inside Id hide,
Couldnt grieve because of my stupid pride.
No work and no money, and everything lost,
A lazy bastard husband is all, my lovely wife got,
On daydreams I had I wasted my time,
With blinkers on I thought all was fine.
With too much stress for Jenny to take,
She got her attention from somebody else,
It was only words, not physical at all,
But I blew my lid and ruined it all.
I started to shout and threatened to kill,
Not thinking once how Jenny would feel,
But now shes gone and it hurts so much inside,
No one to blame except me, my anger and my stupid pride.
If I could have one more chance, to give it a go with Jenny my wife,
Id show her I could really start to change my life,
Ive already started, but I think its too late,
So being all alone it looks like my fate.
I love you Jenny and always will,
And I promise you babes Ill climb that hill,
Id like to say that never again, would we argue and shout,
But like any other marriage, from time to time were bound to fight.
