The End of a Love Affair Songtext

von Julie London

To understand
So I walked 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 took a little much
And I laughed a little much
And my voice is too loud
When I'm out in the crowd
So that people are apt to stare

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

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 maddening pace
And I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?
