Jilted

I bought another dinner for one I sit and watch some pointless re-run And the tears fall down 'Cause this is not what I had planned I stare at all the books on the shelf On how to help or better myself Lot of good they've done Another one's gone to hell Hmmm I've been jilted again He packed his bags and left whistling a happy song I jumped through hoops to keep that man Oh how did I get it so wrong? I tried new positions I learned his friends names I made myself sit through football games Oh, Been jilted Been jilted again So this is when self pity sets in And ominous predictions begin Will I end my days alone and reaching for the gin? Talking to myself and the cat Weeping at the drop of a hat Oh for goodness sake I can do better than that Hmmm I've been jilted again He packed his bags and left whistling a happy song I jumped through hoops to keep that man Oh how did I get it so wrong? I tried new positions I learned his friends names I made myself sit through football games Oh, Been jilted Been jilted again [Scat] Well things are gonna change from now on I think those self help books are a con So be sure next time my geisha ways will all be gone Oh, try to please and always be nice Oh, trust the Cosmo quiz for advice I'll just be myself And see if that will suffice Hmm I've been jilted again But hey, good riddance I don't think that he was meant for me I jumped through hoops to keep that man But now he's gone I'm finally free To try new ambitions And learn new friends names And wash my hair through those football games Hmmm, been jilted Good riddance Been jilted again
