Well I was pretty young

She was young and pretty

I was so naive

It was such a pity

I said now baby don't you waste your time

Just cryin' for me

I gotta go away for a while

And you can be free



And baby, baby, it's my turn to cry

Baby, baby, it's my turn to cry



I found a job

And you found a lover

He'd been married before

But you needed the shelter

When I told you to have a good time

I think you took me all wrong

Next thing I know you're engaged

And a kid is coming along



(I'm sittin' at home, watchin' the walls

My mouth is parched, my stomach's tight

You said goodbye, you turned you back

I guess you know what's right . . .

I'm sittin' at home, watchin' the walls

Birdcage mouth, I lost the fight

You said goodbye, you turned you back

I guess you know what's right . . .)



I found a job

And you found a lover

He'd been married before

But you needed the shelter



And baby, baby, it's my turn to cry

Baby, baby, it's my turn to cry
