I placed her on a pedestal
and gave her everything I own
but she said she had to go away
she had to be alone
I asked her not to leave me
I begged her on my knees
I told her that I’d change my ways
but she wouldn’t hear my pleas
So I thought I’d play it cool
and for a week I didn’t call
and then I went to see her
she can’t remember me at all
So now I have another girl
she wants to be my wife
she says she’ll give the world to me
and love me all her life
I’ve tried so hard to love her
but it seems I don’t know how
maybe I should leave her
but where would I go now
Why can’t I love the one who wants me
with tender love and care
and not the one who breaks my heart
and never knows I’m there
