I remember every woman
who ever granted me a smile
and if it went no further
I just had to wait awhile
in the mornings you drink coffee
in the evenings you drink wine
and in between everything is just fine

The drug of social necessity
when all is fine and good
when your parents say you shouldn’t
and the papers say you should
and if you can’t handle my sadness
and you can’t handle my pain
pick yourself up, we’ll work
we’ll try again


There is a vision in the mirror
which is trying to convince me
to return to love just one more time
I remain unconvinced
and we went to see a movie
it was late but it was early
and I’ve thought of you fondly ever since

I regret every woman
who’s ever granted me a smile
it’s unfair but it’s just the way it is

I remember every woman
who’s ever granted me a smile
and I’ve thought of you fondly ever since
and I’ve thought of you fondly ever since
and I’ve thought of you fondly ever since
