Well guess who I saw today
|
Sitting outside my favorite cafe
|
Sipping his morning coffee
|
On my street.
|
|
I said, "How are you?
|
I'm just fine.
|
I think that I recognize that tie."
|
He said, "Sorry I never got to say good-"
|
"By the way, I'm doing much much better.
|
I was just a little under the weather,
|
But pay no mind to me..."
|
|
'Cause you know it only hurts when I breathe.
|
When I make believe
|
That maybe he truly needs me.
|
It only hurts here and there.
|
Why doesn't he care?
|
Doesn't he ever miss me?
|
It only hurts me when I breathe.
|
|
So you finally quit smoking these days
|
And I like your hair real short that way.
|
I never could get it out of your face.
|
So how was Paris, when did you go?
|
Tell your parents I said, "Hello".
|
Tell them my life is going just as-
|
|
I planned a trip.
|
I'm going somewhere exotic.
|
I'll show you the pictures, tell you all about it
|
The next time we meet.
|
|
'Cause you know it only hurts when I breathe.
|
When I make believe
|
That maybe he truly needs me.
|
It only hurts here and there.
|
Why doesn't he care?
|
Doesn't he ever miss me?
|
It only hurts me when I breathe.
|
|
"So whatcha doing tomorrow night?
|
Let's have a drink. I won't bite."
|
He said, "Sure let me just run it by...my wife."
|
|
'Cause you know it only hurts when I breathe.
|
When I make believe
|
That maybe he truly needs me.
|
It only hurts here and there.
|
Why doesn't he care?
|
Doesn't he ever miss me?
|
It only hurts me when I breathe.
