Where did I lose hope?
Was it that I was too noble to grope?
Was it when I discovered life is just a slippery slope?
I've forgotten the romantic fragrance of perfumed soap,

Where did I lose hope?
Was it hearing too many women telling me nope?
Unfaithful women seem to always find a dope
Oh, the illusion of love when it's time to elope,

When did love pass me by?
Before I ever discovered there was a tear in my eye?
Was it that last resentful sigh?
Perhaps it was watching you give up and cry?

When did love pass me by?
Was I pursuing some pie in the sky?
Do I unconsciously make the relationship die?
Please Lord above send me a sign,

When did love pass me by
Perhaps I should have complied
Maybe I chose the wrong one upon which to rely?
Was it the love she needed that I denied?

Where did love pass me by?
When she became disillusioned as I stood by?
Could it have been those little white lies?
Put them all together that's when love dies.
