Oh if you read in the papers that she's been seen
|
A gettin' in an out of some millionare's long custom made limousine
|
She may fool you with her smile but I can see
|
That's just her poor hopeless heartless helpless pathetic way of gettin' over me
|
So you were down at Joe's on the night she broke her zipper
|
And some wane brain drunk champagne out of her slipper
|
And she danced on the piano and she screamed hurray I'm free
|
That's just her poor hopeless heartless helpless pathetic way of gettin' over me
|
Oh she'll do anything she can just to make me jealous
|
Of course forgettin' me is gonna take her lots of years
|
So I call her now and then just out of pitty when she laughs at me
|
That's just her way of bravely holding back her tears
|
What's that you say she got married oh the poor little fool
|
To some handsome movie star with the mansion and a swimming pool
|
And she's looking good and she's got a kid or two or three
|
That's just her poor hopeless heartless helpless pathetic way of gettin' over me
|
(Pathetic way of tryin' to get over me but she ain't never gonna make it honey
|
I mean those guys those guys you see her with now
|
They're they're the relatives maybe business assiciates
|
I mean I know this woman and she's sittin' home bitin' her fingernails
|
Let me tell you she's just readin' magazines
|
She she may look like she's enjouin' herself
|
That's the way she looks when she's really gettin' bad I know this woman)
