[Verse 1]
"A" is for the apple that he gave to me
But I found a worm inside
"B" is for beloved that I call to him
Before he left my side
And "C"
See what he did, that's "D"
Did it to poor ol' me
How could I be such an emotional fool? ("F")

[Verse 2]
"G" is for the gentlemen I thought he was
When he first said "Hi" ("H"-"I")
"J" is for the joker that is Jimmy B
The man who made me cry (That's a "C")
And "K"
Well, you know it's just not okay
To kiss and then run away
Leaving alone without leaving a letter for Langtree

[Verse 3]
"M" is for the misery he left me "N"
Never to return again
"O," what a poor ("P!") fool I've been
Queuing in line for him
And "R"
Are you the one for me?
Yes, say you’ll come back to me
Why are you tempted to tease me? (Oh)
[Verse 4]
You ("Y," not "U") have got to understand
The value of a woman's heart ("V!")
Why ("W," not "Y") did you think it was fine
To "X" me from the start?
And "Why?" (Yes, "Y") is the question that's on my mind
Oh, why?
Why did you leave me
Right before reaching our zenith? (Oh)

[Verse 5]
One is the number of men I've loved
And two is the times I'll say it's you (It's you!)
Three is the number of days you've been gone
But it feels like four-times-two
Eight, at the hour the sun goes down
I remember life with you around
I wish I had nine lives like that one (Oh)
