Fifty Percent

[Barbra]
Hello?

[James]
Hi

[Barbra]
Hi. You're not gonna have to wait for me this time I'm all packed

[James]
Honey, I can't go

[Barbra]
What, what happened?

[James]
I forgot that I promised the kids I would take them to their game. They want their mom to go too

[Barbra]
Oh, of course, I understand
It's their mother and you can't disappoint your kids

[James]
We'll go next weekend

[Barbra] Okay, great

[James]
Next weekend for sure, I promise you

[Barbra]
Next weekend for sure

[James]
Do you still love me?

[Barbra]
Of course I still love you

[James]
Oh I miss you

[Barbra]
I miss you too

[James]
I'll try and call you

[Barbra]
Okay. Bye honey

[James]
Bye

I don't iron his shirts
I don't open his mail
I don't know all the jokes he tells
Or the songs he hums
Though I may hold him all through the night
He may not be here when the morning comes

I don't pick out his ties
I don't butter his toast
But I feel when he's in my arms
He's where he wants to be

We have no memories
Bittersweet with time
And I doubt if he'll spend New Year's Eve with me

I don't share his name
I don't wear his ring
There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
But he says he loves me, and I believe it's true
Doesn't that make someone belong to you

So I don't share his name
So I don't wear his ring
There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
But he says he loves me
And I believe it's true
Doesn't that make someone belong to you?

So I don't share his name
So I don't wear his ring
There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
But we both have the memories
I have enough memories
I've washed enough mornings
I've dried enough evenings
I've had enough birthdays to know what I want

Like there's anyone's guess
It's a constant surprise
Though you don't plan to fall in love
When you fall you fall

And I'd rather have fifty percent of him
Or any percent of him
Than all of anybody else at all
