I guess I'll go through life never having you
I guess I'll go out of this world never having you

There's no way for me to love you at this late day it wouldn't be the same
There's no way for me to win you I'm so far behind it's so late in the game
I know I'll go through life
[ fiddle ]
I know I'll go through life

I must believe in reincarnation I got to have another chance with you
You're wrapped up in your situation you are music and I'm so far out of the tune
I guess I'll go through life

I get mad when I think about it I know I'm a free thinking fool
This hunger is eatin' my heart out I'm a lunatic and you are so super cool
I know I'll go through life
