Title: Swipe Left, Swipe Right
I wouldn't know what to do with you
Swipe left, swipe left
A moment of weakness, of hope
Swipe right, swipe right
At the age where men want to take advantage
Having to realise I'm not part of their tribe
Escorts, criminals and opportunists chase me now
Vulcherism is their vibe
I wouldn't know how to talk to you
Swipe left, swipe left
At least you're my age and sorted
Swipe right, swipe right
Selling myself short without confidence
Without self esteem or self respect
Too old to be someone's concubine
Fruitless encounters I have trekked
I wouldn't expect it to end any other way
Swipe left, swipe left
The yearning, that pitiful hope again
Swipe right, swipe right
That old hope driving us on, keeping us alive
Those persistent dreams keeps knocking around our heads
We're lucky that they thrive
I don't know what the future will bring
Only that I'll keep swiping left and right through life
