A is for the alimony that I send
B is for the bottle that is now my friend
C is for the child I'll never see again
And this is the way I spell sadness
 
D is for the death that I die each day
E is for the empty house that once was gay
F is for the fool who threw your love away
And this is the way I spell sadness
 
It just doesn't matter
What letter I say
They all fit together
In the same old haunting way
 
X is for the way you now refer to me
Y is for the you that I still long to see
Z is for the zeal with which you set me free
And this is the way I spell sadness
And this is the way I spell sadness
