From where I stand I can see all the lights in the city

For one man to love one woman so much it's a pity

From where I stand I can see the canteena she goes to

Where she's not supposed to but goes anyway



From where I stand I can hear the music and laughter

Camelia keeps tellin' me that's all her young heart is after

I see it differently, I see her there with a man

Camelia keeps lyin', I see, from where I stand



If there was one ounce of man left in me I'd accuse her

What's left of a man knows for certain if I do I'll lose her

It wouldn't do to let her know I know she's lyin'

Or that I've been spyin', she'd never come back



Camelia, I almost despise the ground that you walk on

The reason I don't is, it's me not the ground, that you walk on

Constantly tormented knowing you're just partly mine

Camelia, I hate you and love you at the same time
