They talk about the golden rule
But if I'd give a helping hand
They'll laugh and say I'm just a fool
I guess I'll never understand.

My friends all wished the best for me
But when success was in my hand
They turned away in jealousy
I guess I'll never understand.

Then I found you and at last I knew
Our love was real if nothing else was true
Then I believed in life once more and
All the lovely things we planned.

And now you're walking out the door
I guess I'll never understand...
