another nail for my heart
The case was pulled from under the bed She made a call to a sympathetic friend And made arrangements  The door was closed, there was a note I couldn't be bothered Maybe I'll choke, no more engagements  With "where-have-you-beens?" And far away frowns Trying to be good by not being 'round And here in the bar The piano man's found Another nail for my heart  That stupid old bug That kills only love I want to be good Is that not enough?  So play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart Then play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart  I had excuses, those little boy lies That she computed by watching my eyes And told me firmly  She couldn't stand it, I'm bad on her heart She dropped her make-up and I found the bar Now it concerns me  I've had a bad time Now love is resigned I've been such a fool I've loved and goodbyed  So here in the bar The piano man's found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar The piano man's found Another nail for my heart
