Ex-Lover

Turn off the music

Turn up the light

Go put your shoes on

While I open the door

You'll shake my hand as I wish you good-night

And find myself lonely once more

Oh well what the hell

Some other evening, some other time

It's time for a bottle and a moment of silence

For another ex lover of mine

You weren't the first one God knows there've been more

Remember a few nights, forgotten the rest

The day that I met you I stopped keepin' score

Pretending that you were the best

Oh well what the hell

Some other evening, some other time

It's time for a bottle and a moment of silence

For another ex lover of mine

I've looked for perfection in ev'ry hotel room

Polite desperation clouds all that I say

My life ends up reading like a cheap dime story novel

Romance in the moonlight

Disappears with the day

But just like a good man, I still keep on searching

For someone to love me, a hand for my hand

I keep on believing that our love has changed

And I'll be on my feet when I land

Oh well what the hell

Some other evening, some other time

It's time for a bottle and a moment of silence

For another ex lover of mine
