- How can you go back to beer,
- after you’ve tasted champagne?
- How can you hurt one so dear,
- after your first caused such pain?
How can you toss love so pure,
after you’ve suffered inane?
How can you go back to sere,
after you’ve kissed in the rain?
How can you return to drear,
after you’ve felt love inflame?
How can you be so unclear,
after a new love acclaim?
How can old love now come near,
after you’ve had bliss sustain?
How can you be filled with cheer,
after you’ve gone back to plain?
How can you subdue your fear,
after your old love obtain?
How can you to this adhere,
after you try to maintain?
How can you hold back a tear,
after you’ve nothing to gain?
How can you from true love steer,
after you’re going insane?
How can new love disappear,
after you’ve let it remain?
How can you withstand severe,
after you try to abstain?
How can you now be sincere,
after you try to explain?
How can you go back to beer,
after you’ve tasted champagne….
