| There
she goes with her nose in the air, funny how love can be; Wonder why she pretends I'm not there, funny how love can be, girl, |

| Funny how love can be. | b |
| There
she is with that look in her eye, hasn't got time for me; Does she know how it's makin' me cry; Funny how a love can be, girl, |
c |
| What
a thing to happen. Life without a friend. What a thing to happen. Funny how true love can end. |
