This waiting is driving me crazy
The tears I’m tasting are just wasting me away
And though I know it’s in your eyes
I can’t help wondering why
I’m bound to lose, bound to lose with you
You’re a melancholy lady
No use trying to disguise it
I can see it’s in your eyes
It’s in your eyes
And though I know you’re not to blame
And I can’t help feeling it’s a shame
That loving you always costs
A tear or two, a tear or two
And you’re a lady lost
Hiding behind a curtain of your memories
Afraid to pull the string
Afraid to sing, afraid to sing
This waiting is driving me crazy
The tears I’m tasting are just wasting me away
And though I know it’s in your eyes
I can’t help wondering why
I’m bound to lose, bound to lose with you
Because loving you darling
Always costs a tear or two
