Change the Rules

We met one Spring night at Rhythms
Disco'ed the whole night through
Sang 80's songs we treasured
Shared secrets we held true
As morning came, 
You escaped to work
Leaving me stranded on first base

I played the game
We seemed to connect
You left in a rush
It was like you changed the rules

By Summer we expanded on the first night
Toured Harlem to SoHo
Watched Crawford as the Phantom
Won at Trump's casino
As the season's weather changed
Work once again took over
Leaving me stranded on second base

I played the game
We seemed to connect
You not all heere due to work
It was like you changed the rules

By Autumn we'd shared this house for months
Sometimes you play
But more you don't
Am I not important to you
Has the end come?
Don't let it do so
Don't leave me hanging on third base

I played the game
We seemed to connect
You not all heere due to work
It was like you changed the rules
