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
