Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The case was pulled from under the bed
She made a call to a sympathetic friend
And made arrangements
[Verse 2]
The door was closed there was a note
I couldn't be bothered, maybe I'll choke
No more engagements
[Verse 3]
With where have you been's
And faraway frowns
Trying to be good
By not being 'round
[Verse 4]
And here in the bar
The piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
[Verse 5]
And here in the bar
The piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
[Verse 6]
That stupid old bug
That kills only love
I want to be good
Is that not enough
[Verse 7]
So play me the song
That makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
[Verse 8]
Then play me that song
That makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
[Verse 9]
I had excuses, those little boy lies
That she computed by watching my eyes
And told me firmly
[Verse 10]
She couldn't stand it, I'm bad on her heart
She dropped her makeup and I found the bar
Now it concerns me
[Verse 11]
I've had a bad time
Now love is resigned
I've been such a fool
I've loved and goodbyed
[Verse 12]
So here in the bar
The piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
[Verse 13]
And here in the bar
The piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
[Verse 14]
And here in the bar
The piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
[Verse 15]
And here in the bar
The piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
[Verse 16]
And here in the bar
The piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
