BILLIE HOLIDAY - The End Of A Love Affair lyrics

Edward c. redding<br><br>So I walk a little too fast and I drive a little too fast<br>And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do at the<br>End of a love affair? <br><br>So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much<br>And my voice is too loud, when I'm out in a crowd<br>So that people are apt to stare<br><br>Do they know, do they care, that it's only that I'm lonely<br>And low as can be? <br>And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at atll!<br><br>So I smoke a little too much, and I drink a little too much<br>And the tunes I request are not always the best<br>But the ones where the trumpets blare!<br><br>So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking<br>Your place<br>But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair
