“Fertile Green”
(A.J. Foti)

My life was fertile green, baby; fertile green till I met you,
My life was fertile green, baby; fertile green till I met you,
You took away the golden sunshine, & that only leaves me blue.

When I look at the lady, well it only makes my soul so sad,
When I look at the lady, well it only makes my soul so so sad,
There’s nothing more painful, mister, than losing someone you never had.

Eight years I waited for you baby; one by one you chose my friends,
Eight years I waited for you baby; one by one you chose my friends,
Overlooking what’s in front of you, the only love that made good sense.

There’s only one definition of hell, baby; a definition that’s mean and true,
I said there’s only one definition of hell, baby;
a definition that’s mean and that’s true,
And that’s to love someone, darling; who’s not in love with you.

So, you think the man with the power and prestige is the sign from above,
Oh, you think the man with the power and the prestige, baby,
is the sign from up above,
But you’ll find the only true affluence, mama; is when you’re rich in love.

And as you walked out the door, honey;
I couldn’t believe we were through,
I said, as you walked out that door, baby;
I could not believe that we were through,
I ain’t no mathematician baby, but I always thought I could count on you.

I toldja I’d love ya baby, love ya till the very end,
I toldja I’d love ya baby, love ya till the bitter end,
But now, if I can’t have you as a lover, baby;
I don’t need you as a friend.

My life was fertile green, baby; fertile green till I met you,
I said my life was fertile green, baby; fertile green till I met you,
You took away the golden sunshine, & that only leaves me blue.
