David Gates

Vanity

Sanity

One of us has gone and lost our sanity

That's the only reason you could ever say goodbye to me

But maybe it was vanity

Vanity

Maybe some would say that you're the cuttest thing that ever they'd seen

Couldn't understand why you would ever spend a moment's time with me

But maybe it's society

So long… bye-bye

Hold on… why try?

Society

Maybe no one's ever supposed to stay together permanently

Go and gotta go looking for what's best for me and me

But maybe it's just vanity

Society

Maybe no one's ever supposed to stay together permanently

Go and gotta go looking for what's best for me and me

It's insanity, vanity, or society

But whatever it is

It's happening to you and me

So long… bye-bye

Hold on… let us try
