Café Society - Wendy Lyrics

Wendy grew up and she played with all of those older boys
The sixties come and they all run to be soldier boys
I remember the day they all died
She got the letter and she broke down and cried
She said: life's so unfair for those who aren't there
Why must they set the example

Wendy fooled around with all the boys in her college class
She walked in space, she ran the race, she always came in last
She left me then and she took what all was mine
Now she walks the streets-she ain't even got a dime
And she says: life's so unfair for those who are there
Why must I set the example

She fell in love and she married a man and they had a boy
Working late nights, can't stand all the fights, see you later Roy
She packed her things and she took her young son
Their life seemed over but it really had just begun
She said: life's so unfair when he's not there to care
Why must he set the example

She grew old and she hadn't a friend to give a care
When she died nobody cried, no one was even there
She said to God, Lord, where have I gone wrong?
He said Wendy, nowhere, you see your life's just begun
He said life seems unfair when you're down there
Why must we set the example
