Behold, a new tune called "Trifling Woman."  It was fun to write and record, although (or maybe "because") I have no experience comparable to what the lyrics describe. The arrangement is more of a sketch than a finished track, but hey, it's close enough for the web. 

 

Trifling Woman

1                                           4
I can't conceal the way that I feel
1                                          4
And I must concede it's less than ideal
6m                5
To be living a lie
6m                    4
How could I ever think I knew
1
A trifling woman like you

I’ve long since lost sight of what counts
Though there’s little doubt just what you’re about
God only knows what kind of bind I got into
With a trifling woman like you

3               1    (repeated)
I spotted you
Across a crowded room
Toward you I spun
And chaos ensued
3                    4
Like a lesser moon
5
Pulled into the Sun

I'm sure you might imagine my surprise
If I ever once get a word in edgewise
With each hour that goes by
The harder I try and the less I get through
to a trifling woman like you

My friends say I can't see you for standing too near
They all swear from a distance it's clear
But they’ll never know what I see in you
There's not much I wouldn't do
For a trifling woman like you
A trifling woman like you
