He keeps her in diamonds He brightens her days He flies her in style to the cities he plays But she's not aware that in every town Others warm to his favors when she's not around
He took her to Paris He took her to Spain He took her for granted Wouldn't give her his name
She lives all alone In a house on a hill And thinks that she'll marry But she never will
He told her that someday He'd make her his own They'd take a vacation together in Rome Then she spoke these words Though they tore her apart: 'I'm tired of you playing these games with my heart.'
'Oh, I've given you the best years of my life 'You've given nothin' but maybe some lies 'I've lived all alone in a house on a hill 'Thinkin' we'd marry, but we never will.'
So time brought it's wisdom Now clearly she sees She's learned to be happy And she loves being free That he longs to hold her And make her his wife Cause there was no happiness left in his life
She lives all alone in a house on a hill With good friends and good times Her life is filled In his lonely mansion He longs for her still And he thinks that she'll marry But she never will No, she never will
