[Verse]

             
I never did, f

              
it in too well

      
 with folks yo

u knew
              
And it's plain

              
 to see that t

              
he likes of me

       
 don't fit wit

h you
              
So you traded 

              
me for the gai

           
ety of the wel

l to do
             
And you turned

              
 a way from th

            
e love I offer

   
ed you

[Verse]

             
I see your pic

              
ture in the ne

        
ws most every 

day

You're the chosen girl of the social world
       
So the stories

 say

But a paper smile only lasts a while
        
Then it fades 

away
             
And the love w

              
e knew will co

            
me home to you

      
 some day
