Needed a friend but I'm scuppered again
She's changing her name and address
Ain't it a shame? but there's no-one to blame
It's the way of the world I guess

My love let me down and then messed me around
It finally came to a close
So I'm not the first but what makes it worse
Is I won't be the last I know

If I was a king I could change everything
Yeah but I'm not inclined to do that
Try to be glad 'cause there's nothing as bad
As a funny man gone sad

Now I need a drink but hey, what do you think?
I'm down to my last pound coin
Ain't life a bitch? but then, if I was rich
There's nothing I'd enjoy

She's changing her name but hey, what's in a name?
No, I'm not inclined to say that
Try to be glad 'cause there's nothing as bad
As a funny man gone sad
