Analysis of One Too Many
When one has went away
and one comes to stay
and one is rolling in the hay
a condom as an appreciative token
of the love that goes unspoken
hearts will be broken
at one's early return
as the hay begins to burn
some will never learn
that there is only room for two
when one wears a ring for you
but one is set on something new
ask one for divorce
love has run it's course
going after the source
