The love of my life is a shady lady, tearing me up just to bring me down

She used to be calm, but now she's crazy

I don't mind



Tearing me down like a jungle monkey, cutting me up like a jungle cat

She used to be fine, but now she's funky

I don't mind

She's not the love of my life anymore



The love of my life takes my lunch to breakfast, nary a thought that a man

might starve

She used to smoke dope, but now she's X-ing

I don't mind



Tearing me down with a full length mirror, praying for death while her

beauty fades

She'll go anywhere any man will lead her

I don't mind

She's not the love of my life anymore



I hurt - you walk

There ain't no looking for an answer when the question's come and gone

I'll stay - you'll go

There ain't no hoping for tomorrow, so I'll pack up all my sorrow and find

some hope that I can borrow

I'm just tryin' to save my sanity and soul
