I lied and told her I loved her   she didn't care but anyway   I told her we'd still be friends   and she didn't care but anyway   I tried last week for to call her   she wasn't home but anyway   I think I'll spend my life alone   I really don't care right now but   anyway      Chorus:      It's a state of affairs   and a state of emotions   the kind of thing you must   understand   I tell you one thing   you'll tell me another   we walk away   maybe then shake hands      I'm quitting cigarette smoking   it's bad for me but anyway   I don't think the T.V. was joking   when it told me this but anyway   the newsman said not to sit on   strange toilet seats   it's my life he's trying to save but   anyway      Chorus:      someday an answer will find us   quite a long shot but anyway   I think the past is behind us   be real confusing if not but anyway   I put all my hope in tomorrow   it's gonna be great I can tell but   anyway   I see a new day a dawning   I like to sleep late, oh well, but   anyway      Chorus:
