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
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
at the end
of a love affair
