Mad About You

The day that some old friend
Said something sad about you
I knew right then
I was no longer mad about you
For I’d always gone to pieces
At the mention of your name
But all that I could say this time was
«Isn't that a shame»
No work of art could catch
The way you had about you
But living day to day
Has not been bad without you
For what I once thought so sublime
Was just a perfect waste of time
Suffice to say
That I’m no longer mad about you
It’s a bit of a shame
But I’ve mastered each game
That I learned from you
So if I’ve done the job right
Some heart’s breaking tonight
Just like mine would do
How I’ve learned from you
