Last night I told a stranger all about you
They smiled patienty in disbelief
I always knew you would succeed no matter what you tried
And I know you did it all in spite of me

Still I'm proud to have known you for the short time that I did
So glad to have been a step up on your way
So glad to be a part of your illustrious career
And I know you did it all in spite of me
In spite of me
Mmm

Late last night I saw you in my living room
You seemed so close but yet so cold
For a long time I thought you'd be coming back to me
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel
So cruel

Late last night I saw you in my living room

For a long time I thought you'd be coming back to me
Those thoughts can be so cruel

And I know you did it all in spite of me
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
In spite of me
Mmm
Mmm
In spite of me
