But Anyway

I lied and told her I loved her,
She didnt care, but anyway
I told her wed still be friends,
And she didnt care, but anyway
I tried last week for to call her,
She wasnt home, but anyway
I think Ill spend my life alone,
I really dont care right now, but anyway
Its a state of affairs and a state of emotions

The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands

Im quitting cigarette smoking
Its bad for me, but anyway
I dont think the tv was joking
When it told me this, but anyway
The newsman said not to sit on strange toilet seats
Its my life hes trying to save, but anyway
I found out that Ive got eye cancer
Too many television waves, but anyway
Its a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands

Some day an answer will find us
Quite a long shot, but anyway
I think the past, the past is behind us
Be real confusing if not, but anyway
I put all my hope in tomorrow
Its gonna be great, I can tell but anyway
I see a new, a new day a dawning
I like to sleep late, oh well, but anyway
Its a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands
