I thought no one could keep us from sharing the rest of our lives
Like a fool I believed you were true and had no disguise
There’s a clear blue sky outside
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I’m
No longer pretending you’re mine

It’s the same weary story of a woman abusing her man
So I have to forget your though I’m not even sure if I can
There’s a clear blue sky outside
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I’m
No longer pretending you’re mine

It’s the same ugly story of a woman abusing her man
So I have to forget your though I’m not even sure if I can
There’s a clear blue sky outside
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I’m
No longer pretending you’re mine
