[Verse 1]
Last night I told a stranger all about you
Smiled impatiently and looked to speak
Always knew you would succeed no matter what you tried
I know you did it all in spite of me

[Verse 2]
Still I'm proud to have known you for the short time that I did
Glad to been a step up on your way
Proud to be a part of your illustrius career
I know you did it all in spite of me
In spite of me

[Verse 3]
Late last night I saw you in my livin' room
You seemed so close, but yet, so cold
Long time I thought that you'd be comin' back to me
Kinds of things can be so cruel, so cruel

[Outro]
Know you did it all in spite of me
In spite of me
