I'll try to remember the way it was then.
She was less than a lover but more that a friend.
I first saw her name up on the bathroom wall.
I was feelin' kinda lonely so I gave her a call.
The sign on the wall said "For a good time"
and listed her number as "Angel 69".
I didn't know what to expect. I just took a dare.
I guess I was thinkin' I wasn't gettin' my share.
You probably don't approve. Well, why should I care?
I'm in love with the girl with the auburn hair.
I'm in love with the girl with the auburn hair.

Welcome to my mid-life crisis.
Welcome to my rant and rave.
You better come a runnin' if you're lookin' to save me
'cause there ain't that much left here to save.
I've never felt so much rebellion.
I've never felt so much angst.
I know I've got to take this one shot at Heaven
'cause I'll never get a second chance.

Angel makes a living.
She's got no time for love.
She's never smelled the roses.
She don't see the stars above.
She knows that she's a good time,
the kind of girl that boys adore.
They tell her she's an angel
and they user her like a whore.

She said that she'd meet me at the five and dime
and told me to get ready for a real good time.
I remember the moment she walked through that door.
My eyes popped out and my jaw hit the floor.
She did everything I wanted. She fulfilled my desire.
My body was in Heaven. My heart was on fire.
I told her I loved her. "Could I see you again?"
She winked as if to say "It's just a question of when."
When she was gone I sat and cried in my chair.
I'm in love with the girl with the auburn hair.
I'm in love with the girl with the auburn hair.

Welcome to my true confessions.
Welcome to my sordid life.
You'd probably think even less of me
if you knew I've got two kids and a wife.
You might think that I am an animal.
My wife says I'm a sex machine.
But whatever label you pin on me
I know I'm just a human being.

Angel's got a boyfriend.
She don't know what to do.
She needs love like everyone else
but how can she tell when it's true .
She knows he only wants her body.
She can take him to the great beyond.
But he loves the girl with the auburn hair
and Angel's just a dirty blonde.

I spent all day searching for an opening line
to try to impress that little angel of mine.
I couldn't hardly wait to see her again.
I wanted a lover and I needed a friend.
I sure was surprised when my angel called to say:
She was terribly sorry. She couldn't come out to play.
And not tomorrow either. I said "That's okay."
I knew she meant never and I cried for a day.
I didn't really love her so why should I care?
I'm in love with the girl with the auburn hair.
I'm in love with the girl with the auburn hair.
 
And the girl with the auburn hair:
She's so perfect. She's so fair.
But she does something to my pride.
She makes me feel so inadequate inside.
Do you know how it feels to have
your deepest desires repeatedly denied? 🦋
Have you ever been a lonely man
with the one that you want lying right by your side?

Welcome to my little fable,
my story that's so often true .
It's so easy to sit there in judgment
and so hard to find the right thing to do.
We glorify love as the ultimate
and we treat it like a sacred dance.
But when we can't meet our needs, satisfy our desires,
love doesn't stand a chance.

Angel's got a boyfriend.
She's on the street again.
Angel's got a boyfriend.
She's on the street again.
Angel's got a boyfriend.
She's on the street again.
Angel's got a boyfriend.
She's on the street again.

Reviewed by Mark Sebring
Reviewed on February 5, 2020
This poem has three alternating sections.
The Girl With The Auburn Hair: The main character tells his story in retrospect.
Mid-Life Crisis: The main character interacts with the audience.
Angel 69: A third person narrator tells Angel's side of the story.
(The video I chose was intended to continue Angel's story.)

Toward the end of the poem, it reveals that "The Girl With The Auburn Hair"
is not Angel, but someone else (the main character's wife),
changing the meaning of some of the lines that came before it.


"I need a good woman, to make me feel like a good man should.
I don't say I'm a good man. Oh, but I would be if I could."
Peter Green (Man Of The World)

"Do you know how it feels to have
your deepest desires repeatedly denied?
Have you ever been a lonely man
with the one that you want lying right by your side?"
