Clean Slate

The woman I was sure that I could trust

Has taken off and left me in her dust.

She told me that I didn’t fit her scene,

Like I’m a serf and she’s some kind of queen.

 

I need a clean slate to re-invent myself.

I’ll make a clean break, leave the old me on the shelf.

It’s never too late to make another start.

With a clean slate this time I’ll play it smart.

 

She didn’t leave a forwarding address.

She thinks she brushed me off but good, I guess.

But there are plenty more fish in the sea,

And soon she’ll wish that she’d been true to me.

 

I need a clean slate. I want a whole new deal.

I’ll find a soul mate whose love I know is real.

You know I can’t wait ’til that girl sees some day,

With a clean slate, the love she let get away.

 

I got a clean slate. The past is out of sight.

My life feels great, and the future’s looking bright.

It must have been fate when a new love came along.

With a clean slate, I know we can’t go wrong.
