Belinda Ben Folds & Nick Hornby

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 forty somethings
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 and 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
