the love of my life is a shady lady
tearin me up just to bring me down
she used to be calm but now she's crazy
i dont mind

tearin me down like a jungle monkey
cuttin me up like a jungle cat
she used to be fine but now she's funky
i don't mind
she's not the love of my life anymore

the love of my life takes my lunch to breakfast
nary a thought that a man might starve
she used to smoke dope but now she's x-ing
i don't mind

tearing me down like a full length mirror
praying for death as her beauty fades
she'll go anywhere any man will lead her
i don't mind
she's not the love of my life anymore

i hurt, you walk
there aint no looking for an answer
when the question's come and gone
i'll stay, you'll go
there aint no hoping for tomorrow
so i'll pack up all my sorrow
and find some hope that i can borrow
i'm just trying to save my sanity and my soul (x2)

the love of my life is a shady lady
tearin me up just to bring me down
she used to be calm but now she's crazy
i dont mind
she's not the love of my life anymore
