The apple fell small distance from the tree that it called mum
in those shadows it became what apples do become
a granny smith, from granny smith, so each stems from its kind
and that is how I should have known, how could I be so blind
your mother, though a charm at times, fell short of character
your mother went from man to man, and you were p***e to flirt
now looking back it seems unfair to have expected more
from someone who my wiser friends identified a w****
and yes that word is strong, but true, and so is my resolve
to be the man that I should be and leave you with the dogs
we've been through this before
