Just as I believed myself a choice.

Ever attempting to better my own self.

As I discovered that I had a voice,

Lousy though it is to express myself.

Oh angel fair I tried to make you mine,

Unknowing that you had gone to another.

Such is my luck that when I make myself thine,

Yet again you turn toward him, that handsome other.

Just as I feel myself falling for you,

Even as this emotion does come true.

As I find my soul locked in your eye:

Lies is this love I feel, It is only a lie.

Oh I want you, I admit to such a thought.

Under you my heart and soul are caught.

So I believed you might just loved me too,

Yet I saw him take your precious love from you.

Just as I believed, from heartbreak, I’d be all right,

Even as I tried to bear to leave your pretty sight.

As the night waned and I felt morning start to dawn,

Lies I thought, for I know that I am still your pawn.

Oh what a man I am that I cannot turn away from love

Under stress and loss I still cherish this love from above.

So as I left I realized your face did go with me still,

Yet I saw you and him kissing upon that windowsill
