The End of a Love Affair

Billie 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 affairSo 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 stareDo 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 allSo 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 blareSo 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 affairDo 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 allSo 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 blareSo 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
