Another Nail In My Heart

                                  The case was pulled from under the bed 

She made a call to a sympathetic friend 

And made arrangements 

The door was closed there was a note 

I couldn't be bothered, maybe I'll choke 

No more engagements 



With where have you been's 

And faraway frowns 

Trying to be good 

By not being 'round 



And here in the bar 

The piano man's found 

Another nail for my heart 

And here in the bar 

The piano man's found 

Another nail for my heart 



That stupid old bug 

That kills only love 

I want to be good 

Is that not enough 



So play me the song 

That makes it so tough 

Another nail for my heart 

Then play me that song 

That makes it so tough 

Another nail for my heart 



I had excuses, those little boy lies 

That she computed by watching my eyes 

And told me firmly 

She couldn't stand it, I'm bad on her heart 

She dropped her makeup and I found the bar 

Now it concerns me 



I've had a bad time 

Now love is resigned 

I've been such a fool 

I've loved and goodbyed 



So here in the bar 

The piano man's found 

Another nail for my heart 

And here in the bar 

The piano man's found 

Another nail for my heart

And here in the bar 

The piano man's found 

Another nail for my heart

And here in the bar 

The piano man's found 

Another nail for my heart

And here in the bar 

The piano man's found 

Another nail for my heart
