I moved around to so many places
I poured my little heart out all over town
I've known for a long time I was different somehow
That one day my true love would be found
I've been waiting and wasting
All my time
I've been embarrassed and hurting
All my life
She said, I'm tired and this cannot go on
So don't waste no carnations on me
You must know that love is more than a fever
And pretty words mean nothing to me
