It's a shame for you to do me the way you did babe
|
Making me put you down before I was through
|
|
You tempted me and tried me and I kept you right beside me
|
You ruined me for everyone but you
|
|
It's easy to love a thing so warm and soothing
|
|
That gets you through the night so tenderly
|
but after all these nights with you all I remember
|
Is forgetting just how cold your heart could be
|
|
Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town
|
but I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger
|
Than the weakest man who ever turned you down
|
|
The body in that pretty dress you wore dear
|
Fit my shaking hand just like a glove
|
|
but trembling's for the fearful old and crying
|
Getting old and sad and scared ain't worth your love
|
|
so will you let me go just like I came babe?
|
Willful clear of mind and free to see
|
|
Clear enough to see the others like you
|
and mindful my will breaks so easily
|
|
Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town
|
but I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger
|
Than the weakest man who ever turned you down
|
