The End of a Love Affair

Lyrics

[Intro] I am seeking someone for advice The situation isn't very nice I find myself completely at a loss My heart and not my mind is boss [Verse 1] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 2] So I smoke a little too much, and I joke 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 her place But what else can you do at the end of a love affair?
