I bought another dinner for one
I sit and watch some pointless re-run
And the tears fall down

'Cause this is not what I had planned

I stare at all the books on the shelf

On how to help or better myself
Lot of good they've done
Another one's gone to hell


Hmmm I've been jilted again
He packed his bags and left whistling a happy song

I jumped through hoops to keep that man
Oh how did I get it so wrong?


I tried new positions
I learned his friends names
I made myself sit through football games

Oh, Been jilted
Been jilted again


So this is when self pity sets in
And ominous predictions begin
Will I end my days alone and reaching for the gin?


Talking to myself and the cat
Weeping at the drop of a hat

Oh for goodness sake
I can do better than that


Hmmm I've been jilted again
He packed his bags and left whistling a happy song
I jumped through hoops to keep that man

Oh how did I get it so wrong?

I tried new positions

I learned his friends names
I made myself sit through football games
Oh, Been jilted

Been jilted again

[Scat]


Well things are gonna change from now on
I think those self help books are a con

So be sure next time my geisha ways will all be gone

Oh, try to please and always be nice

Oh, trust the Cosmo quiz for advice
I'll just be myself
And see if that will suffice


Hmm I've been jilted again
But hey, good riddance I don't think that he was meant for me

I jumped through hoops to keep that man
But now he's gone I'm finally free


To try new ambitions
And learn new friends names
And wash my hair through those football games


Hmmm, been jilted
Good riddance

Been jilted again
