The love of my life is a shady lady Tearin me up just to bring me down She used to be calm but now she's crazy I dont mind Tearin me down like a jungle monkey Cuttin me up like a jungle cat She used to be fine but now she's funky I don't mind She's not the love of my life anymore The love of my life takes my lunch to breakfast Nary a thought that a man might starve She used to smoke dope but now she's x-ing I don't mind Tearing me down like a full length mirror Praying for death as her beauty fades She'll go anywhere any man will lead her I don't mind She's not the love of my life anymore I hurt, you walk There aint no looking for an answer When the question's come and gone I'll stay, you'll go There aint no hoping for tomorrow So i'll pack up all my sorrow And find some hope that i can borrow I'm just trying to save my sanity and my soul (x2) The love of my life is a shady lady Tearin me up just to bring me down She used to be calm but now she's crazy I dont mind She's not the love of my life anymore
