I couldn't help but overhear
what you were saying to your friend
To the shadows of the darker side of life
You say the one who she belongs to
only got what he deserved
For the many nights he left her all alone
Well, I've heard that same old story
told so many times before
But this time it's hidden close to home
You know I've often said the same
things that you're saying
But I found I was the only
Because she learned to play
the same game I was playing
Just as soon as someone else
So take a good look at a man
who once was standing in your shoes
And you'll see the lonely fu
Because someday, just like me
You'll hear a stranger speak her name
Like you did when that's hidden
