Billie Holiday
The End of a Love Affair (The Audio Story)
[Intro]
Alright, here we go
Let's make it brilliant

[Verse 1]
So I walk a little too fast
So I, so I, so I walk, so I walk (Alright? Here we go)
Alright

[Verse 1]
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? No good
At the end of a love affair
I don't know it
Now please try to make as much noise as you can as loud as you can
I don't know the tune

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Announcement, announcement for you guys that are here
We're rolling, this is "End of a Love Affair" composite, take one
Quiet in the studio, don't let anybody breathe
[Verse 1]
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, I can't hear, at first it's so loud, and then I—
This is take two

[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
So I talk a little too much
And I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud
When I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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 mad— I can't hear the band at all
