billie holiday - the end of a love affair (take 4 w/vocal overdub take 8) lyrics

Loading...

[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

[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?
