I'll be your long-time correspondent
If not your mirror, or partner, or sweetheart
The time is past when you called me girlfriend
Well you never called me girlfriend
Though we dreamed a collective dream
Of office buildings in downtown L.A.
Of detectives and dentists down on their luck
How we love them
Now, discovering my nature without the pleasure of your company
I'll place that bet
I'll be faithful
And of course correspondence brings out the best in you, dear
No fuss no muss no mess
Just the facts, ma'am, and the sound of your voice
Been hearing it in my head anyway
So deciding just seals things
With a byte, as it were
There! I've just been bolder
Than when we lay together
And will be again, for a long time
God willing
