Mr. Rebound Songtext
von Richard Thompson

My sweetheart she bounced right out of my arms
She was gone before I remembered to cling
Did I reach out too slowly to catch her
Or was she by nature a slippery thing


Into the arms of Mr Rebound
Into the arms of Clean Up Joe
Into the arms of Mr Rebound
Mr Rebound, as if I didn′t know

He'll give her laughs and he′ll give her dreams
I gave her the kids and the pots and pans
He'll do for the dash and he'll do for the sprint
But he won′t do for a marathon man

I know for a fact that she ain′t coming back
To tell you the truth, I'm a little bit glad
She may be blind with the things on her mind
But how can she stand to touch something that bad
