i guess i'll never understand

they talk about the golden rule

but if i'd give a helping hand

they'll laugh and say i'm just a fool

i guess i'll never understand

my friends all wished the best for me

but when success was in my hand

they turned away in jealousy

i guess i'll never understand

then i found you and at last i knew

our love was real if nothing else was true

then i believed in life once more and

all the lovely things we planned

and now you're walking out the door

i guess i'll never understand.
