[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 whеre the trumpets blarе

[Verse 4]
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?
[Instrumental Break]

[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

[Verse 4]
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?
