Billie Holiday - The End of a Love Affair (Stereo Take 4 with Vocal Overdub Take 8)(1958)

[00:17.26] So, I walk a little too fast
[00:23.87] And I drive a little too fast
[00:29.75] And I'm reckless, it's true
[00:32.76] But what else can you do
[00:36.80] At the end of a love affair?
[00:43.07] So, I talk a little too much
[00:49.33] And I laugh a little too much
[00:56.70] And my voice is too loud
[01:00.97] When I'm out in a crowd
[01:04.65] So that people are apt to stare
[01:11.03] Do they know, do they care
[01:14.80] That it's only that I'm lonely
[01:20.75] And low as can be?
[01:24.81] And the smile on my face
[01:29.17] Isn't really a smile at all?
[01:38.91] So, I smoke a little too much
[01:45.96] And I joke a little too much
[01:53.08] And the tunes I request
[01:57.09] Are not always the best
[02:00.77] But the ones where the trumpets blare
[02:07.70] So, I go at a maddening pace
[02:14.53] And I pretend
[02:16.81] That it's taking his place
[02:21.81] But what else can you do
[02:26.18] At the end of a love affair?
[02:40.31]
[02:51.43]
[03:01.30] Do they know, do they care
[03:05.85] That it's only that I'm lonely
[03:11.65] And low as can be?
[03:16.35] And the smile on my face
[03:20.15] Isn't really a smile at all?
[03:29.88] So, I smoke a little too much
[03:37.12] And I joke a little too much
[03:44.12] And the tunes I request
[03:48.43] Are not always the best
[03:52.18] But the ones where the trumpets blare
[03:58.83] So, I go at a maddening pace
[04:06.10] And I pretend
[04:08.42] That it's taking his place
[04:13.53] But what else can you do
[04:18.18] At the end of a love affair?
[04:25.74]
