You didn't love me long until the thrill was gone Then another made me your old used to be How long can her love last when a new wears oh so fast There'll always be another then another and another just like me Just like me she'll understands the sorrow Of loving you today and losing you tomorrow I warned her but she called it jealousy So let her be another then another and another just like me Now you go anywhere for a brand new love affair Somebody new who thrills you instantly When the thrill has ceased to chill and from our past I know it will There'll always be another then another and another just like me Just like me she'll understands
