The End Of A Love Affair

So I walked 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 took a little much

And I laughed a little much

And my voice is too loud

When I'm out in the 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

And 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 his place

But what else can you do

At the end of a love affair ?
