Beatrice is my lady
And she wears a pretty ring
But it’s not mine,it drives me crazy
It is just one of those things

I have not seen her since september
She mailed a note and stayed away
I guess she’ll be here to defend herself
Probably sooner than today

I recall and I’m broken-hearted
The way she brightened up my life
But I knew long before we parted
She was someone else’s wife

And I heard her sweet voice singin’
In a restaurant down at the mall
I could not eat , could not help thinkin’
She’s got the greatest voice of them all

There’s a rumour spread in town
I guess you’ve might’ve heard it too
But it’s unable to bring me down
Even though half of it is true

I recall and I’m broken-hearted
The way she brightened up my life
But I knew long before we parted
She was someone else’s wife
