Ben Folds, Nick Hornby - Belinda

Every night around this time
He has to sing Belinda
Belinda I love you
Don't leave me I need you
He tried to stop a while back
But what is he without her
A one hit wonder with
no hits is what he is
And anyway
He always hears how much
it means to people
There's a lot of fortysomethings
Who wouldn't be in the world
without it
So now he does it with
this lyric in his head
Belinda I loved you
I'm sorry that i left you
I met somebody younger on a plane
She had big breasts
A nice smile
No kids either
She gave me complimentary champagne

No one ever wants to hear
the song he wrote for Cindy
Cindy I love you
I need you don't leave me
And he can't blame them
they can tell
His heart was never in it
And Cindy never liked it
but She never much liked him
Belinda I loved you
I'm sorry that i left you
I met somebody younger on a plane
She had big breasts
A nice smile
No kids either
She gave me complimentary champagne

So every night about this time
He feels the old self loathing
While the old folks
in the audience sing along
And he smiles
and waves the mic at them
So they can do the chorus
But he's not there
he's somewhere else
He's with Belinda
In the days before he made
it all go wrong
Belinda I love you
She gave me complimentary champagne
She gave me complimentary champagne
