Pride, sad, splendid liar,
Things I was thinking of.
But now my pride you've humbled,
I've cast it to the winds,
Broken, beaten, sick at heart
We've played the game of stay away
But it cost more that I can pay.
Without you I can't make my way,
I may seem proud, I may act gay,
It's just a pose, I'm not that way,
'Cause deep down in my heart I say
Little mean things we were doing
Must have been part of the game,
Lending a spice to the wooing,
But I don't care who's to blame.
When stars appear and shadows fall,
Why then you'll hear My poor heart call,
To you my love, my life, my all
We've played the game of stay away
But it cost more that I can pay.
Without you I can't make my way,
I may seem proud, I may act gay,
It's just a pose, I'm not that way,
'Cause deep down in my heart I say
Little mean things we were doing
Must have been part of the game,
Lending a spice to the wooing,
But I don't care who's to blame.
When stars appear And shadows fall,
Why then you'll hear My poor heart call,
To you my love, my life, my all
