Last night I told a stranger all about you   They smiled patiently with disbelief   I always knew you would succeed   No matter what you tried      And I know you did it all   In spite of me      Still I'm proud to have know you   For the short time that I did   Glad to have been a step up on your way   Proud to be part of your illustrious career      And I know you did it all   In spite of me, in spite of me      Late last night I saw you in my living room   You seemed so close but yet so cold   For a long time I thought that   You'd be coming back to me   Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel   So cruel      And I know you did it all   In spite of me, in spite of me
