Change Of Command (Rondeau)

by Jenni Marie   Aug 6, 2007


All this time I've been listening to you
Making excuses when you made me blue
Sorry but I can't do that any longer
'Cause darling I've just become stronger
And now I'm telling you that we're through

Now your heart I no longer do value
Think it's about time you got a clue
Wont listen to you for much longer
All this time

making threats, but there's nothing you can do
'Cause on our love, I've made my review
Used to push me around, but no longer
'Cause I've just become the one that's stronger
For sweetheart, I'm finally over you
All this time

A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a
sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short - a
refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the
same metrical length).
