Once I laughed when I heard you saying

That I'd be playing solitaire

Uneasy in my easy chair

It never entered my mind

Once you said that I was mistaken

That I'd awaken with the sun

And ordered orange juice for one

It never entered my mind

You had what I lack myself

Now I even have to scratch my back myself

Once you warned me that if you scorned me

I'd say a lonely prayer again

And wish that you were there again

To get into my hair again

It never entered my mind

You had what I lack myself

Now I even have to scratch my back myself

Once you warned me that if you scorned me

I'd say a lonely prayer again
