lyrics

Sitting at home, still as a stone, thinking about the women in my life
Some I set free, the others left me, except the one who’ s currently my wife
So I got on to writing this song, knowing it could only bring me grief
It could cause you some trouble too, so I’m gonna keep it brief
What you give’s what you get and I’ve had a lot
Free from regret I am not
There was Lucille she was unreal back then we were smoking lots of grass
And drinking beer till the floor disappeared, couldn’t tell our elbows from our arse
Willow and Bree, Jane and Lisa-Marie each of them deserve a separate song
Less so Renee, although people say, she’s seems happier now since she met Yvonne
What you gives what you get and I’ve had a lot
Free from regret I am not
Well what can I say? They all went their own ways – some to Melbourne some to study law
I started this band, met Maryanne, I think that’s her now coming through the door
All the above, taught me of love, lost a lot of skin along the way
Stripped of some pride now I’m softer inside work to do and bills I gotta pay
What you gives what you get and I’ve had a lot
Free from regret I am not
What slipped through the net was not meant to be
What you give is what you get now I’m getting me
