I bought another dinner for one
|
I sit and watch some pointless re-run
|
And the tears fall down
|
'Cause this is not what I had planned
|
|
I stare at all the books on the shelf
|
On how to help or better myself
|
Lot of good they've done
|
Another one's gone to hell
|
|
Hmmm I've been jilted again
|
He packed his bags and left whistling a happy song
|
I jumped through hoops to keep that man
|
Oh how did I get it so wrong?
|
|
I tried new positions
|
I learned his friends names
|
I made myself sit through football games
|
Oh, Been jilted
|
Been jilted again
|
|
So this is when self pity sets in
|
And ominous predictions begin
|
Will I end my days alone and reaching for the gin?
|
|
Talking to myself and the cat
|
Weeping at the drop of a hat
|
Oh for goodness sake
|
I can do better than that
|
|
Hmmm I've been jilted again
|
He packed his bags and left whistling a happy song
|
I jumped through hoops to keep that man
|
Oh how did I get it so wrong?
|
|
I tried new positions
|
I learned his friends names
|
I made myself sit through football games
|
Oh, Been jilted
|
Been jilted again
|

|
|
Well things are gonna change from now on
|
I think those self help books are a con
|
So be sure next time my geisha ways will all be gone
|
|
Oh, try to please and always be nice
|
Oh, trust the Cosmo quiz for advice
|
I'll just be myself
|
And see if that will suffice
|
|
Hmm I've been jilted again
|
But hey, good riddance I don't think that he was meant for me
|
I jumped through hoops to keep that man
|
But now he's gone I'm finally free
|
|
To try new ambitions
|
And learn new friends names
|
And wash my hair through those football games
|
|
Hmmm, been jilted
|
Good riddance
|
Been jilted again
|
