I saw you last night I was outside your window
But you didn’t see me I kept out your way
And you were with someone, he was holding you close
And the look in your eyes said all it could say
Do you want me to go, do you think I don’t know
That I’m your second hand lover
And a heart never mends, when you build your defences
Just to have them knocked over again
When a love affair ends
Well I called you today but the phone kept on ringing
And the operator said can I help you today
And I said, well no one can help me to hold back tomorrow
Cos I have you my heart and you threw it away
Do you want me to go do you think I don’t know
That I’m your second hand lover
And a heart never mends, when you build your defences
Just to have them knocked over again
When a love affair ends
