Half my life is regret and the other half I forget
I'm awlays busy closing curtains in my brain
So I was strolling by a night club when a couple came out of the shadows
It was a rich mand and a girl I thought I knew

Well hello Marie, yes it's good to see you've got someone new
And he looks so good like he's never felt no rain
He wears the crown of this tinsel town like he owns the day
For me, I'll just stay in the alleyways and cry, over you

Hey man, would you rather give me a second with the lady I once leaned on
Bless his heart, I thought he'd never turn away
But she was caught up in her own coolness and I was fading to the darkness
Of my overcoat and my lonesome serenade

Well hello Marie, I don't know Marie, if he's good for you
'Cause he's not like me and you cannot see his shame
And he wears the crown of this tinsel town like he owns the day
For me, I'll just stay in the alleyways and cry, over you

Well hello Marie, yes it's good to see you've got someone new
And he looks so good like he's never felt no rain
And he wears the crown of this tinsel town like he owns the day
For me, I'll just stay in the alleyways and cry, over you

Over you
Over you
Over you

Over you
Over you
