So I walk a little too fast

And I drive much much too fast

And I'm reckless it's true

But what else can you do

At the end of a love affair

And 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 all stop and stare

Theny don't know they don't care

That it's only that I'm lonely

And low as can be

And the smile on my face

It isn't really a smile at all

So I smoke a little too much

And I drink just a little too much

And the tunes I request

They are not always the best

But the ones where the trumpets all blare

And I go at a maddening pace

And I pretend that it's taking my lover's place

But what else can you do

At the end of a love affair
