Lately I’ve been thinking   How greatly I abhor   The way you leave me listing   A day out from the shore   What used to be so simple   Simply isn’t any more   And it’s playing on the strings of my heart      This convoluted letter   Won’t tell you how I feel   I need to put it better   Then sign it and seal   I might neglect to send it   Depending on my mood   But it’s playing on the strings of my heart      CHORUS:   Lately I’ve been finding out   What loving you is all about   And frankly I can do without it      You set your expectations   A little too high   You’re way above your station   And I’m way below the line   And if that makes me the loser   Maybe that’s just fine   But it’s playing on the strings of my heart      CHORUS      Frankly I can do without this kind of love      CHORUS      Frankly I can do without this love
