The Kay Hanley (from Letters to Cleo) version isn’t too bad, either
You never write
You never call
You just stand around and smile so happily
Look, I’m a man. You never knew. There’s worser things that you have done to me.
Well I should cry
but I’ve done too much already I can’t lie
cause you’re better then, than I’ll ever be
and that won’t take us back to you and me
being all alone.
You call me names
and you’re never home
all I’ve got to show is a kiss and drum
You talk too much
but not to me
there’s too much of this love I’ve never seen
but I should cry
but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie
cause you’re better then, than I’ll ever be
and it won’t take us back to you and me
being all in love
You dirty rat you broke my heart
I can’t believe it went this far
turn off the heat. blow out the spark
Now I gotta say what I have said
I look alive but I feel dead
but as for us are still good friends?
NO NO NO
well I should cry…
but I’ve done too much already
I can’t lie
cause you’re better then, than I’ll ever be
and it won’t take us back to you and me
being all alone
You dirty rat
I gotta say
you sure know how to wreck my day
turn off the sun and walk away
and now I know just what to find
and now its you who’s next in line
but as for us it was the best of times
