One by One

I've known for a while now
That you're a fool in hiding,
Pretentious when drunk,
Deceitful and talkative.
The tables have turned on you,
Today you're a rag,
You've sunk so low
That they don't even acknowledge you.

What happened to that smooth talker
Who in the game of love
Always said: "I'm all set
To be a player"?
Where are those flashy clothes
And that swaggering attitude,
That you showed off, big shot,
With the girls from the group?

And those expensive watches,
Sunglasses and jars of a color,
That were so impressive
You had them in bulk?
And those girls who deceived you
Had you with their love?
Don't you realize that you used to be
One of the best?

Those fifty winning bets are over,
No more colorful jars
Or lunches at the Julien.
No more paddock at the races,
And today, if no one sees you,
You blend in one by one...
How different your train used to be!
