Refrain 1: I guess I’ll have to change my plan
I should have realized there’d be another man.
I overlooked that point completely until the big affair began.
Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that.
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there,
All that I could get was the air.
My feet are back upon the ground, I lost the one girl I’d found.

Refrain 2: I guess I’ll have to change my plan
I should have realized there’d be another man!
Why did I buy those blue pajamas before the big affair began?
My boiling point is much too low
For me to try to be a fly Lothario.
I think I’ll crawl right back and into my shell,
Dwelling in my personal Hell.
I’ll have to change my plan around, I’ve lost the one girl I found.
