Ruth and Harry

Times have changed I can't keep up

She's half deranged and he's out of luck

as we cast aside the old fashioned bride

and get addicted to the thrill of having new love from time to time

we're in the age of 

Serial monogamy, heart shaped rocks and love that's free

well wouldn't love be better if it stayed 

but now these changes come so fast technology's not made to last

not like the bond between Ruth and Harry

Times have changed, I can't keep up

through tears and pain, she kept him up

endless years together like they said they would

but don't you know that these days those old words don't do no good

We're in the days of 

Serial monogamy, Mr. "Right-for-now" and HPV

well wouldn't love be better if it stayed

but now these changes come so fast technology's not made to last 

not like the bond between Ruth and Harry

Ruth sits her mind blank in the sun all she says is, "I love your bag"

a conversation going nowhere fast from the sweep that Alzheimer's had

then from the stairs in the kitchen Harry calls in his dear one for lunch 

he helps Ruth inside hand in hand they feed each other sweet stewed plums 

hey hey hey, oh, oh sweet stewed plums

but today you know we feed each other

Serial monogamy and dating games on TLC

well wouldn't love be better if it stayed 

but now these changes come so fast

these modern hearts aren't made to last

not like the days of old Ruth and Harry

not like the days of old Ruth and Harry
