Oh please don´t you think baby that I am wrong to cry, yeah.
You loved me, too,
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh?
Things just can´t be this way
And not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Our love affair said it´s just history, yes it is.
And I tried to love you in my own way,
I think that you know I did.
But to have you here, to see you living,
Oh so near to me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh but you are distant and so it´s dead
And so often people are glad to be old, yeah yeah,
Our love affair is just history, yes it is.
Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.
Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.
And I see you looking up at the sky, how high it is, yeah.
You wonder if there is, whoa another me
Now how can that be, how can it be?
Well, I sit here and I ask you, why all this?
I just got toni-ni-ni-night
Our love affair said it´s just a history
But baby, baby, I said it´s over, Charlie,
I can´t stand another lo-lo-lonely,
I´m never too lonely.
It´s over baby,
Where were you when I wanted ya
And needed ya right by my side?
I said-a, baby, baby, don´t you feel me moving,
Baby, don´t you hear me cry?
I know I hurt you, but Lord don´t you know I cried,
I know I hurt you, but babe don´t you know I tried,
Oh baby, oh babe, whoa.
You loved me, too,
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh?
Things just can´t be this way
And not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Our love affair said it´s just history, yes it is.
And I tried to love you in my own way,
I think that you know I did.
But to have you here, to see you living,
Oh so near to me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh but you are distant and so it´s dead
And so often people are glad to be old, yeah yeah,
Our love affair is just history, yes it is.
