The End of a Love Affair [instrumental track & overdub take 8] Lyrics
So I walk a little too fast
And I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true
But what else can you do
At the end of a love affair
So I talk a little too much
And I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud
When I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare
Do they know, do they care
That it's only
That I'm lonely
And low as can be
And the smile on my face
Isn't really a smile at all
So I smoke a little too much
And I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request
Are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare
So I go at a maddening pace
And I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do
At the end of a love affair
Do they know, do they care
That it's only
That I'm lonely
And low as can be
And the smile on my face
Isn't really a smile at all
So I smoke a little too much
And I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request
Are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare
So I go at a maddening pace
And I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do
At the end of a love affair
And I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true
But what else can you do
At the end of a love affair
And I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud
When I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare
That it's only
That I'm lonely
And low as can be
And the smile on my face
Isn't really a smile at all
And I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request
Are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare
And I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do
At the end of a love affair
That it's only
That I'm lonely
And low as can be
And the smile on my face
Isn't really a smile at all
And I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request
Are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare
And I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do
At the end of a love affair
