B I lied I told I love her A B She did not care but anyway B I told her we'd still be friends A B And she did not care but anyway B I tried last week to call her A B She wasn't home but anyway B I think I'll spend my life alone A B I really don't care right now, but anyway A It's a state of affairs B and a state of emotions A B the kind of thing that you must unerstand A I tell you one thing B You tell me another A B We walk away, maybe then shake hands I'm quitting cigarette smoking It's bad for me but anyway I don't think the TV was joking When it told me this but anyway The newsman said not to sit on strange toilet seats It's my life he's trying to save but anyway I found out that I got eye cancer Too many television waves but anyway It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions the kind of thing that you must unerstand I tell you one thing You tell me another We walk away, maybe then shake hands Some day the answer will find us Quite a long shot but anyway I think the past is behind us Be real confusing if not but anyway I put all my hope in tomorrow It's gonna be great I can tell anyway I see a new day dawning I like to sleep late, oh well, but anyway It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions the kind of thing that you must unerstand I tell you one thing You tell me another We walk away, maybe then shake hands
