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 but wouldn't give her his name
She lives all alone in a house on a hill
And things are going to be all right

He thinks that she's married, but she never wins
He told her that someday he'd make her his own
They'd take a vacation together and all
But 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 me nothing but maybes and lies
I've lived all alone in a house on a hill
Thinking we'd marry, but we never will
So time brought its wisdom, now clearly she sees
She's learned to be happy, and she loves being free
She's learned to be happy, and she loves being free

But 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
And he longs to hold her and make her his wife

His lonely mansion, he longs for her still
And he thinks that she's married, but she never wins
No, she never wins
And he thinks that she's married, but she never wins
