Final Affair
Jim Reeves · Legend Lives On [2005]
This is my final affair
It's over and now I don't care
I've been in love and I found
It hurts when your heart's kicked around.
This is my final romance
I know it's not worth a chance
I'm bluer than I was before
I won't fall in love anymore.
It's too much to ask of someone
To give their love, their heart their all
To someone who's only pretending
And calls you a fool when you fall.
This is my final romance
I know it's not worth a chance
My heart's beyond all repair
And this is my final affair.
(It's too much to ask of someone)
(To give their love their heart their all)
To someone who's only pretending
And calls you a fool when you fall.
This is my final romance
I know it's not worth a chance
My heart's beyond all repair
And this is my final affair...
