I'm in love with the city
 I'm in love with the boy
 Gotta put it on record
 Gotta write a new song
 There ain't no way around it
 He's in love with another girl
 
 I'm a wreck, I'll admit it
 I can't eat when he's near
 And I'm so tired and nervous
 That you better stay clear
 Leave me to the company
 Of me if I can't have him
 
 I'm trying to be tender
 I'm trying to be cool
 I laugh at my own jokes
 I laugh like a fool
 There ain't no doubt about it
 He's in with his life-long girl
 
 What chance do I have
 A cat's chance in hell
 I better take it
 
 I'm going to write him a letter
 Gonna put it in words
 Gonna make it official
 Gonna make it absurd
 Hold up then, there a second, girl
 You'll spoil what you have to do
 
 They're a sweet loving couple
 How could you come between
 All the talk and the tenderness
 The love and the feeling
 His eyes start to sparkle
 Sparks for the other girl
 
 I'm in love with his face
 I'm in love with his eyes
 I could eat them for breakfast
 Boy, would he be surprised
 If he knew how I felt
 It would spoil any chance I had
 
 What chance is that
 It's a cat's chance in hell
 I better take it
 
 What chance is that
 It's a cat's chance in hell
 I better take it
