He cursed like a billiard player
His walking stick upon the ground
Had his heart broken
By a little girl, she was small
Had his heart broken
By a little girl, she was...

It's a comfortable chair, and friends
You can't buy company
It's a frame of mind
People who've been through what you've been through
Time's on your side when you're old

(1, 2...)
He cursed like a billiard player
His walking stick upon the ground
Had his heart broken
By a little girl, she was small
He was a young man
It was like an event
He was a young man
He would never expect

He promised her everything
He knew he never had to deliver
Promised her everything
Ask yourself if you could do better
He promised her everything
She caught on
A lot of people say she's crazy
But I know, I know a lot of people
And I think, I think she's alright

He lied to her
He lied to her
And she believed him
