I went into town to see you
  yesterday
  but you were not home.
  So I talked to some old friends
  for a while
  before I wandered off alone.
    It's so hard for me now
  But I'll make it somehow,
  Though I know I'll never be the same.
  Won't you ever change your ways,
  It's so hard to make love pay
  When you're on the losing end,
  And I feel that way again.
    Well, I miss you more than ever,
  since you've gone
  I can hardly maintain.
  Things are different round here
  every night,
  my tears fall down like rain.
    It's so hard for me now

  When you're on the losing end,
  And I feel that way again.
