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 off the door I guess I'll never understand
