The End of a Love Affair

[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 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 2]
So I smoke a little too much and I drink 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 her place
But what else can you do at the end of a love affair?
