The alarm clock woke my sleeping but I lay there for a minute
|
With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain
|
I stopped that bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat
|
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again
|
I reached out for my baby for some early mornin' lovin'
|
Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head
|
There was just an empty pillow and the mem'ry of his kisses
|
Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed
|
It's the morning after baby let me down
|
It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found
|
Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently
|
It's the mornin' after baby let me down
|
|
There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me
|
And I started into trembling like a leaf
|
How could he ever leave me he was more than just a lover
|
And he knew all the ways to make me feel complete
|
I can taste the salty teardrops God it's gettin' hard to swallow
|
Hope a glass of wine will take his love away
|
Got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feeling
|
What a good for nothing way to start the day
|
It's the morning after baby...
