Last night I told a stranger all about you Smiled impatiently and looked to speak Always knew you would succeed No matter what you tried I know you did it all in spite of me Still I'm proud to have known you for the short time that I did Glad to been a step up on your way Proud to be a part of your illustrius career I know you did it all in spite of me In spite of me Late last night I saw you in my living room You seemed so close, but yet, so cold Long time I thought that you'd be coming back to me Kinds of things can be so cruel So cruel Know you did it all in spite of me In spite of me
