"A" is for the apple that he gave to me
But I found a worm inside
"B" is for beloved that I called to him
Before he left my side
And "C" see what he did to me that's "D"
Did it to poor ol' me
How could I be such an "E"motional fool "F"
"G" is for the gentleman I thought he was
When I first said hi "H" "I"
"J" is for the joker that is Jimmy B.
The man who made my cry
That's "C"
And "K", well, you know it's just not okay
To kiss and then runaway
Leaving alone without leaving a letter for
Langtree
"M" is for the misery he left me in
"N"ever to return again
"O" what a poor "P" fool I've been
"Q"ueuing in line for him
And "R" are you the one for me?
Yes, say you'll come back to me
Why are you tempted to "T"ease me?
Ohh
You, "Y" not "U" have got to "U"nderstand
The value of a woman's heart "V"
Why "W" not "Y" did you think it was fine to "X" me from the start
And "Y", yes, " Y" is the question that's on my mind
Oh why
Why did you leave me right before reaching our "Z"enith
1 is the number of men I've loved
And 2 is the times I'll say it's you (it's you)
3 is the number of days you've been gone
But it feels like 4 x 2
8 at the hour the sun goes down
I remember life with you around
I wish I had 9 lives like that
1..... Oh
