The world’s greatest lover
Well she turned on me then
She said I may be a lover
But let’s not pretend

I once had a chance
Until she took it and ran
And now the rest of my life
It’s out of my hands

Don’t it always seem unfair
The way you just give in
And then the rain comes down
And they pack up the town
While your ship comes in

The world’s greatest lover
Took off her stocking cap
And then her handmaiden gloves
And she stood there like that

Uh oh oh oh

Don’t it always seem unfair
The way you just give in
And then the rain comes down
And they pack up the town
While your ship comes in
Don’t it always seem unfair

The world’s greatest lover
Came round to see me last night
She brought a world full of trouble
I said let there be light
Let there be light
