Anastasia Changes Her Mind - Paul Kelly

Anastasia left a kiss on the mirror

And a couple of condoms by the bed

I tried to find her on her old number

But I just got her boyfriend instead

Oh it’s hard, so hard

When Anastasia changes her mind

So I went back to working the quadrellas

I collected three times in a row

I swear it must have been that kiss on the mirror

That I’d touch with my lips just for luck each time I’d go

Oh it’s hard, very hard

When Anastasia changes her mind

Now the numbers were my daily devotion

I was stashing big bills in the floor

Then one night at my door a commotion

Anastasia-at some ungodly hour!

I said 'Baby can I fix you a coffee

And tomorrow let me buy you a dress

Since you’ve been gone I got lucky'

She just nodded her head and said 'I guess'

Oh it’s hard, yeah it’s hard

When Anastasia changes her mind

Now 'Stacey' takes the crumbs from the table

And feeds them out back to the birds

Me, I can’t even pick the daily double

Since that kiss on the mirror disappeared

Yeah it’s hard, ain’t it hard

When Anastasia changes her mind
