How Insensitive Lyrics by Tony Bennett

If I Ruled the World: Songs for the Jet Set

1965

[Verse 1]
How insensitive I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
"Why?" she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say?
What can you say when a love affair is over?

[Verse 2]
How insensitive he must have seemed
When she told him that she loved him
How unmoved and cold he must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
"Why?" she must have asked
Did he just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was she to say?
What can he say when a love affair is over?

[Verse 3]
Now she's gone away and I'm alone
With the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
"How?" she must have asked
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can one do when a love affair is over?
