How can you ask me how have I been? I think you should know well the shape that I'm in You tell me you wonder if I was okay Well that's a damn fool thing to say The water is risin, the water is ride And you're always standin on the other side And then comes the moment, I wait in the dawn With hours to lie here alone And you seem so surprised that I'm feelin this way How am I so lonely today? If you ever loved me the way I loved you You would be lonely too So here's to the lovers for old times' sake Who don't hold each other to the promise they break And smile through the window And wave on the street Cause that's all you want now from me Should I say somethin to put you at ease? Or should I get down on my knees? If you ever loved me the way I loved you You would be lonely too If you ever loved me the way I loved you You would be lonely too
