MY OLD FOE

Living with you

It's all I can do

To keep you at bay

Stay at arm's length

I go day by day

Each day I wake

I check where you are

Mostly you're here

So very near

You've rarely gone far

Oh My Old Foe

You're always there

Somewhere

Oh My Old Foe

You're always there

Somewhere

Like a bad stain

I try to scrub out

In time you’ll fade

But specks will remain

Of that there's no doubt

Living with you

It's all I can do

To keep you away

Out of my sight

I go day by day

Oh My Old Foe

You're always there

Somewhere

Oh My Old Foe

You're always there

Somewhere
