I guess I'll have to change my plan

I should have realized there'd be another man

I overlooked that point completely

Until the big affair began



Before I knew where I was at

I found myself upon the shelf and that was that

I tried to reach the moon but when I got there

All that I could get was the air



My feet are back upon the ground

I lost the one girl I'd found



Before I knew where I was at

I found myself upon the shelf and that was that

I tried to reach the moon but when I got there

All that I could get was the air



My feet are back upon the ground

I lost the one girl

The one girl I'd found
