Words by howard dietz and music by arthur schwartz

I guess i'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began

I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when i got there
All that i could get was the air

My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl i'd found
