Show is over, close the story book

There will be no encore

And all the random

hands that I have shook

Well, they're reaching for the door

I watch their backs as

they leave single file

You stood stubborn,

cheering all the while

I know I can be colorful,

I know I can be gray

But I know this loser's living fortunate

'Cause I know you will

love me either way

Most were being good for goodness sake

But you wouldn't pantomime

You are more beautiful when you awake

Than most are in a lifetime

Through the haze that is my memory well

Stayed for drama though

you paid for a comedy

I know I can be colorful,

I know I can be gray

An' I know this loser's living fortunate

An' I know you will love me either way

Look ahead as far as you can see me

We'll live in drama but

we'll die in a comedy

I know I can be colorful,

I know I can be gray

But I know this loser's living fortunate

An' I know you will love me either way

I know I can be colorful,

I know I can be gray

But I know this loser's living fortunate

An' I know you will love me

yes I know you will love me

I know you will love me me either way
