The Things I Never Noticed Before

An anti-torch song by Paul Diamond

At last the affair is over,

The break has been finally made,

Our romance was great but now it's ended,

There's no debt that remains to be paid.

It's funny how completely it's finished.

No illusions about you persist.

When we met to say goodbye I noticed

So many little things about you that I'd missed

It's not your fault that your skin is so greasy.

You wash your face enough I'm quite sure,

But that thick line of dirt around the collar of your shirt

Is a thing I never noticed before.

The way you smile and your dentures start slipping

Shouldn't worry me at all any more

But the stains of - is it beer down your trousers front my dear?

Is a thing I never noticed before.

They say that love is blind, perhaps it's deaf as well

I was blind and deaf for you.

But I never knew that love could make you lose your sense of
smell

'Til I regained my senses PHEW!

When I think how your voice used to charm me

When you spoke I was thrilled to the core

Now it really doesn't matter, it's a squeaky sort of chatter

That's a thing I never noticed before.

There were so many things I loved about you,

The virtues that I thought you had.

But looking at you now that our affair is through

I must have been completely mad.

When I loved you I thought you were charming

You were everything I could adore.

But now that love is past I've realised you're rather nasty

It's a thing I never noticed before - oh no! It's a thing I never
noticed before.
