“Why after all these years we've been together
must you behave as if we'd hardly ever spoken,
let alone met?
It seems that you're happy as long as I'm upset.
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
Is it that you don't love me? Oh why?
Have you just had enough of me?
Oh why do I always have cry myself to sleep
seven days a week?”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

Wasting her dearest feelings, till health, hope,
Happiness, are but things of which henceforth
She'll only know the name?”

Trusting to one false star above;
And fling her little chance away
Of sunshine for its treacherous ray.”
