billie holiday

[fez_rejection]

so i walk a little too fast
and i drive a little too fast
and i'm reckless its true,
but what else can you do
at the end of a love affair?
so 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 stare -
do they know, do they care,
that it's only that i'm lonely
and low as can be?
so 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 blare -
and the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all
so i go at a maddening pace,
and i pretend that it's taking your place
but what else can you do at the end of a love affair?
