The End of a Love Affair

The End of a Love Affair - Billy Holiday

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

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 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

Your place

But what else can you do at the end of a love affair
