The End of a Love Affair

Lyrics

[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? [Verse 2] 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 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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?
