I lied and told her I loved her,
She didn`t care, but anyway
I told her we`d still be friends,
And she didn`t care, but anyway
I tried last week for to call her,
She wasn`t home, but anyway
I think I`ll spend my life alone,
I really don`t care right now, but anyway
It`s a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
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`ve 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 understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands
Some day an answer will find us
Quite a long shot, but anyway
I think the past, 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 but anyway
I see a new, a new day a 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 understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands
