Lyrics End of a Love Affair - Lita Roza

Dear Dorothy Dix, I'm in an awful fix
I thought he was in love with me but found that he was only up to his old tricks
Dear Emily Post, no wiser eye than most
Please exercise your nimble brain and tell me how a guy can entertain a ghost
So I'm writing to you for advice, ladies
The situation isn't very nice, ladies
I find myself completely at a loss, ladies
My heart and not my mind is boss

So I walk a little too fast
And I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless, it's 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 the people are apt to stare
Do they know, do they care that it's only
That I'm lonely and low as can be
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all
So I smoke a little too much
And I drink just a little too much
And the tunes I request are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare
And I go at a maddening pace
And I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do
At the end of a love affair
