Texty: Dinah Shore. Tess's Torch Song.

I had a man
He was a good man
That is, you see, what I mean is
I thought he was a good man

I had a friend
She was a good friend
I told my friend 'bout my man 'cause
I thought she was a good friend

Life was sweet
Didn't I have my man?
World complete
Then the fireworks began

Ain't got no man
Ain't got no friend
I bet you can guess
Just exactly what happened

That was the end
The end of my friend
The end of my man
And darn near the end of me

Life was sweet
Didn't I have my man?
World complete
Then the fireworks began

Ain't got no man
Ain't got no friend
I bet you can guess
Just exactly what happened

That was the end
The end of my friend
The end of my man
And darn near the end of me
