And It Isn't Even Noon

And It Isn't Even Noon
By: Ann M. Hampton

Sitting her waiting for my soap opera of a life to start,
Meanwhile, The rest of my life is falling apart.
Got dishes on the counter,
And laundry around the room,
And the linger of smoke looms.

You made me uptight
By keeping me up all night.
My life is in a spiral down,
And it isn't even noon.

I wonder around in circles
Wondering what's left of you and me.
i wish you would open your eyes
Only to see you're the problem--not me.

Yoiu made me uptight 
By keeping me up all night.
My life is in a spiral down,
And it isn't even noon.

How much more can I handle?
How much more can I take?
How much longer
Until you can see your big mistake?

The kids are complaining
Even they can see you're a jerk.
All I need is to see my soap opera
While you are at work.

Otherwise...

I'll be uptight
Just like I was last night
Then maybe my life will turn around
This afternoon.

But for now...

I'm uptight
From staying up all night.
My life is in a spiral down,
And it isn't even noon.

At last...

My soap opera is on the screen,
And much of it is like my life.
Oh Lord,
I want to scream.
