But Anyway

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I lied and told her I loved her She didn't care, but anyway I told her we'd still be friends And she didn't care, but anyway I tried last week for to call her She wasn't home, but anyway I think I'll spend my life alone I really don't care right now, but anyway [Chorus] It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions The kind of thing that you must understand I tell you one thing; you tell me another We walk away, maybe then shake hands [Verse 2] I'm quitting cigarette smoking It's bad for me, but anyway I don't think the TV was joking When it told me this, but anyway The newsman said not to sit on strange toilet seats It's my life he's trying to save, but anyway I found out that I've got eye cancer Too many television waves, but anyway [Chorus] It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions The kind of thing that you must understand I tell you one thing; you tell me another We walk away, maybe then shake hands [Verse 3] Some day an answer will find us Quite a long shot, but anyway I think the past, the past is behind us Be real confusing if not, but anyway I put all my hope in tomorrow It's gonna be great, I can tell but anyway I see a new, a new day a dawning I like to sleep late, oh well, but anyway [Chorus] It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions The kind of thing that you must understand I tell you one thing; you tell me another We walk away, maybe then shake hands
