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

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

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

It isn't really a smile at all

So I smoke a little too much

And I drink a little too much

And the tunes I request

Aren't always the best

But the ones where the trumpets blare

And I go at a maddening pace

I pretend that it's taking his place

But what else can you do

At the end of a love affair

Do they know do they care

That it's only that I'm lonely

And silence 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 a little too much

And the tunes I request

Aren't always the best

But the ones where the trumpets blare

I go at a maddening pace

Pretending it's taking his place

But what else can you do

At the end of a love affair

The end of a love affair

The end of a love affair
