Sometimes you just can't help being nice. then there's other times.

Surprise, Surprise and the Loser Buys

Hello ol’man I know it’s late, but how about a little ol’dine out date,
Don’t know if I can pay the freight, but what is it we’ll celebrate,

We’re still friends, I hope that’s true , otherwise I wouldn’t be asking you,
Well money’s short and dates are few, where would we be going to?

Boy it really don’t get no better, ex wife’s buying so I let her,
A Rose now maybe I should get her, at the steak house is where I met her,

Boy it was looking great, covered over half my plate,
Nothing like a rib eye steak, medium rare I just can’t wait,

Grilled the best on stainless steel, and man the taste just wasn’t real,
Price alone would’a ruined my meal, But she said No, it was a steal,

The chef had cooked, the juices running. With Master culinary cunning,
I told her and I wasn’t funning ,Looks alone, the plate was stunning,

I thanked her for this great surprise, she’s doing better than I realize,
She must be flush with money ties. Did you steal the dough for a meal this size,

Eat up big and don’t you worry. The evenings young , no need to hurry,
Our divorce, it was kinda scary, but have a drink and let’s be merry,

Money’s no problem , I ain’t that rich; but buying your dinner, just scratched my itch.
Your Money baby, that alimony glitch, you said yourself, I’m a cunning Bitch.
