I Beat You In Tears

I couldn’t beat you in anything

You were always miles ahead

And whenever you lied

They believed what you said

When I tried to help in the kitchen

You kept me lame

You shooed me away

It was your domain

Everyone loved you

Without exception

You had the charm of the devil

From the inception

I bigged you up

You kept me down

You were the class

I was the clown

I wanted to please you

Didn’t need anything more

Requited love

Is what I always hoped for

When you were hurting

All I did was cry

When it was the other way round

Your eyes were dry

You never wept for me

In all of your years

I beat you in something

I beat you in tears.
