Big Mistake

My dreams have come true
cause when I met you,
without a doubt I surely knew
I'd found a perfect gem.

So, I can't understand why my friends all say
that I will regret this remarkable day,
that what I see I do not get,
that I will eventually throw a fit
when the real you is revealed.

Now, is there something I'm missing here, my dear?
We've both been honest, completely clear.
Your name goes on my bank account,
what's mine is yours, any amount.
And here's my credit card, too.

But there is one question I have to ask.
It concerns a few years of your past.
My friend said you used to work the streets.
I guess that means that you would greet
the homeless who needed your help.

Another friend told me she was appalled
when she saw your photo on the Post Office wall.
I told her to put her mind at rest.
You'd probably won a beauty contest.
I'm proud of you, my love.

And, one more thing and then I'll stop.
This one will make your lovely jaw drop.
My family attorney wrote to me,
advised that I should try to see
the probation list at the local courthouse.

So, I dropped by there the other day,
and this is very strange to say,
someone has your very same name,
and they made a bundle in a swindling game.
Coincidence for sure.

So, all my love I send to you.
The day I met you I truly knew
that you are a prize, a perfect gem.
Let all my friends by glum and grim.
They don't know you like I do.

P.S.

I just met a man at my front door,
and I don't understand what he came here for.
He was serving a warrant for someone whose name
was spelled like yours, exactly the same.
How people make mistakes!
Some people make big mistakes!
