Description
So I posted this song a long time ago as a straight acoustic song, and then recently I have found out that the girl I wrote it about was doing pretty badly. I remembered I had written a song about her and thought I would ask a couple of fellow MJers to re-interpret it for me. Vic Holman posted an excellent power pop version, and now JIm Bouchard has done a lovely ballad with it. Jim did everything on this take, all I can claim is the acoustic guitar and vox. It has been great to see what these 2 talents can do with one of my pieces when left alone to tinker for a bit.

Lyrics
but everybody knows
you've been out with him
there's a little girl at home
but you dropped out of school
so you could work at night
Chorus:
you're life isn't going
how you thought it would
i hope that
you don't make the same mistakes i did
it's time to figure out
exactly what to do with you
and Stella too
your boy is finally home
a mustache on his face
so you kicked him to the curb
you got lots of bills to pay
childcare ain't cheap
what you gonna do?
Chorus:
you're life isn't going
how you thought it would
i hope that
you don't make the same mistakes i did
it's time to figure out
exactly what to do with you
and Stella too
what's your angle?
are you looking for attention?
you're not stupid
but i'm beginning to wonder
it's time to figure
out exactly what to do about
Stella too
you've been out with him
there's a little girl at home
but you dropped out of school
so you could work at night
Chorus:
you're life isn't going
how you thought it would
i hope that
you don't make the same mistakes i did
it's time to figure out
exactly what to do with you
and Stella too
your boy is finally home
a mustache on his face
so you kicked him to the curb
you got lots of bills to pay
childcare ain't cheap
what you gonna do?
Chorus:
you're life isn't going
how you thought it would
i hope that
you don't make the same mistakes i did
it's time to figure out
exactly what to do with you
and Stella too
what's your angle?
are you looking for attention?
you're not stupid
but i'm beginning to wonder
it's time to figure
out exactly what to do about
Stella too
