She left the friends she had in school

Slipped into the typing pool

Gave herself up to dictation

Barely sixteen years of age

Taking home a working wage

An envelope of expectation

He was older

He had a car

The things he told her

Made her feel the part

She took a test when she was late

Moved into the new estate

Fingers wag behind the curtains

She started out with intentions

But life's demands were unrelenting

To say that words are impotent

Is a mouthful in itself but it fits the bill

Resorting to a family phrase

Just grin and bear it

Just grin and bear it

She cut her hair and stayed at home

Did the shopping on her own

Subsidized by half price tokens

Consoled herself with books on love

Damp creeps in on the walls above

The shower works when it's not broken

He put paid

To her trust

Having fun

With boys and toys of lust

And now she's better on her own

With the soaps and woman's own

It's been an adult education

And he reflects on what he's lost

Took a gamble paid the cost

Sees the kids at graduations

Resorting to a family phrase

Just grin and bear it

Just grin and bear it

Just grin and bear it

Just grin and bear it
