This one is definitely jazz.


THE HONEYMOON IS OVER
As sung by Brenda Earle on "All She Needs" (2009)

He doesn't kiss me like he used to kiss me.
He doesn't hold me like he's really missed me.
I swear—something goin' on.
He doesn't bring me roses like he used to,
Or kiss me on the nose like he used to.
Though I know our love is true,
I fear there's nothin' I can do.
It's fear that comes with not quite knowing.
It's just the pain that comes growing
Untrue—that's what's goin' on.
I know it really hurts
Because I fear the worst.
Ah, he'll be back again.
We will settle in.
There are things that haven't changed:
I'm still a victim to his charms,
I love to hold him in my arms,
And I've got to stop pretending,
For our love affair's not ending,
But the honeymoon's over.
