Lyrics

(Source: Am I Not Your Girl?)

	How insensitive I must have seemed
	When he told me that he loved me.
	How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
	When he told me so sincerely.

	Why, he must have asked,
	Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
	What was I to say? What can you say
	When a love affair is over?

	Now he's gone away,
	And I'm alone with the memory of his last look.
	Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still.
	All his heart-break, in that last look.

	Why How , he must have asked,
	Did Could I turn and stare in icy silence?
	What was I to do? What can one do
	When a love affair is over?
	Over.
