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 so
