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 proud 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 isn t really a smile at all so i smoke a little too much yes i joke a little too much and the tunes i request are not always the best but the ones where the trumpets blare 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 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
