Billie Holiday
"The End of a Love Affair"

So I walk a little too fast and I drive a little too fast
And IпїЅm reckless itпїЅs 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 IпїЅm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare

Do they know, do they care, that itпїЅs only that IпїЅm lonely
And low as can be
And the smile on my face isnпїЅt 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 itпїЅs taking
Your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair
