I bought another dinner for one
I sit and watch some pointless re-run
And the tears fall down
´Cause this is not what I had planned

I stare at all the books on the shelf
On how to help or better myself
Lot of good they´ve done
Another one´s gone to hell

Hmmm I´ve been jilted again
He packed his bags and left whistling a happy song
I jumped through hoops to keep that man
Oh how did I get it so wrong?

I tried new positions
I learned his friends names
I made myself sit through football games
Oh, Been jilted
Been jilted again

So this is when self pity sets in
And ominous predictions begin
Will I end my days alone and reaching for the gin?

Talking to myself and the cat
Weeping at the drop of a hat
Oh for goodness sake
I can do better than that

Hmmm I´ve been jilted again
He packed his bags and left whistling a happy song
I jumped through hoops to keep that man
Oh how did I get it so wrong?

I tried new positions
I learned his friends names
I made myself sit through football games
Oh, Been jilted
Been jilted again

[Scat]

Well things are gonna change from now on
I think those self help books are a con
So be sure next time my geisha ways will all be gone

Oh, try to please and always be nice
Oh, trust the Cosmo quiz for advice
I´ll just be myself
And see if that will suffice

Hmm I´ve been jilted again
But hey, good riddance I don´t think that he was meant for me
I jumped through hoops to keep that man
But now he´s gone I´m finally free

To try new ambitions
And learn new friends names
And wash my hair through those football games

Hmmm, been jilted
Good riddance
Been jilted again
