I should have had the test,
never thought it could happen
to couples like us

Now we have to tell people
(who’ll think the worst of me)
we are HIV positive

I’m just an Ordinary Joe,
struggling to pay off a mortgage
and still have a life;
I love to party (who doesn’t?)
and, yes, there were a few times
I dropped my guard,
forgot low risk doesn’t mean
there’s no risk...

I even thought it was macho
to shrug off those scare stories
we all hear about

Drugs may control the virus,
but it’s down to me we’ll carry it
to our (early?) graves
