Well this is such

A sad affair

I've opened up my heart

So many times

But on now it's closed

Oh my dear

Every salted tear

It wrings

Bitter-Sweet applause

But when the show is in full swing

Every once in a while

High stepping chorus lines

Mean I'm forgetting

Mein lullaby - liebchen

How rich in contrast

Love can be

Sometimes I'm quite amused

To see it twist and turn

To taste - both sweet and dry

There vintage years!

Lovers you consume, my friend

As others their wine

Nein - das ist hicht

Das ende det welt

Gestrandel on leben und kunst

Und das spiel geht weiter

Wie man weiss

Noch viele schonste ... wiedersehn

And now, as you turn to leave

You try to force a smile -

As if to compensate -

Then you break down and cry　

You've heard enough

Of the blues and stuff

You're pretty swell now

'Cos you're pretty tough

But I don't have to tell you

How hard it can be to get by

You never bothered

About anyone else

You're well educated

With no common sense

But love - that's one thing

You really need to get by

All your troubles

Come from yourself

Nobody hurts you

- They don't care

Just as long as you show them

A really good time

All the things

You used to do

A trip to the movies

A drink or two

They don't satisfy you

They don't tell you　anything new

You know I don't talk much

Except to myself

'Cos I've not much to say

And there's nobody else

Who's ready and willing

And able to know me - I guess

Listen to me

I'm not finished yet

There's something to tell  you

That I can't forget

Just have a really good time

There's a girl

I used to know

Her face is her fortune

She's got a heart of gold

She never goes out much

But boy - when she does

Then you know

She's got no money

Well, maybe a dime

But she knows what she's worth

And that's reason why

She's gonna make it

She got what it takes

You'll appreciate that

She's probably late

But I know

And you know

We all know

She'll have a really good time
