Sting - All would envy
Old enough to be her dadBut the young men were just mad they nursed their grievancesAnd she was flattered by his charmIt wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chancesHe sent her flowers and limousinesShe was treated like a queenAnything she ever wantedIt was no problem for a man like himAnd everyone expected soonThat she could ask him for the moonIf she would wear his ringKnowing glances from his friendsIn the homes at the weekends of high societyBut he didn't give a damnHe never felt more like a manAnd all the time the clock was tickingAnd all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wifeYes, all would envyIn a house upon a hillShe was there with time to killShe lived a life she'd only dreamedThe life was never what it seemedTo all her friends that she'd ignoredShe denied she was boredShe had no time for dancing, no time for dancingBut the clock upon the wallThat was ticking in the hallAlways reminded herThat life was going on as wellBut she was happy and she would swear she wouldn't change a thingAnd all would envy the older man and his beautiful young wifeYes, all would envyNow it's 5 o'clock amShe must have spent the night again with that old friend of hersShe loves to danceShe's missing more and more these daysBut he's still stuck in his old waysPerhaps she needs a little more romanceBut the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hallShe must be home soon, soonWhere a younger man would weepHe takes a pill and goes to sleepNow who would envy the older man and his beautiful young wifeWho would envy?Who would envy?
