I went into town to see you

yesterday

but you were not home.

So I talked to some old friends

for a while

before I wandered off alone.



It's so hard for me now

But I'll make it somehow,

Though I know I'll never be the same.

Won't you ever change your ways,

It's so hard to make love pay

When you're on the losing end,

And I feel that way again.



Well, I miss you more than ever,

since you've gone

I can hardly maintain.

Things are different round here

every night,

my tears fall down like rain.



It's so hard for me now

But I'll make it somehow,

Though I know I'll never be the same.

Won't you ever change your ways,

It's so hard to make love pay

When you're on the losing end,

And I feel that way again.
