Ed Charles - Since I Gave Up Hope I Feel Much Better Lyrics

What can I say?
No I can't complain
Who'd listen anyway?
The lady is gone
And gone is how she stays
I quit the game
Without her it's not the same

Since I gave up hope, I feel much better
Since I gave up hope, I feel much better

There's nothing to see
No one here but me
And there's nothing I need
Take whatever you like
And permit me to cry
Under the stairs
The evidence of our affair

Since I gave up hope, I feel much better
Since I gave up hope, I feel much better

There she is
Falling up the staircase
With one shoe on
And one shoe off
A gaudy bouquet
Still in the cellophane
That puzzled look upon her face
As she tries to navigate
How she stays up on her feet
One of her great mysteries
One day she won't get up
Fill the bath with ice
Let's get her to the tub

Since I gave up hope, I feel much better
