Spinning jenny

You walked up beside me, said you just had to say hello
I really wished you hadn’t but I was too polite to tell you so
And as I watched you walk away I thought of what could have been
And I’m so glad it didn’t that I just had to stop and grin

So I think about the good times and I find there were not many
Our lives were never meant to cross inside fates spinning jenny
And I don’t have many regrets but at least this ones still true
I really wish I’d never stuck it in you

And I hear you’ve found happiness and know that I have too
You want to be friends again but that will never do
I left your ghostly memory at the crossroads long ago
Friendships always go two ways and you do not get quid pro quo

So I think about the good times and I find there were not many
Our lives were never meant to cross inside fates spinning jenny
And I don’t have many regrets but at least this one is still true
I really wish I’d never stuck it in you
