How insensitive
How insensitive
I must have seemed
I must have seemed
When he told me that he loved me
When he told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
I must have seemed
When he told me so sincerely
When he told me so sincerely
Why he must have asked
Why he must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say
What was I to say
What can you say
What can you say
When a love affair is over
When a love affair is over
How he must have asked
How he must have asked
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to do
What was I to do
What can one do
What can one do
When a love affair is over
When a love affair is over
Is over
Is over
Is over
Is over
