Poor old Captain Bleeding Heart is down in the dumps today

He doesn't know why and she doesn't say why

He just hopes that she will wait

So poor old Captain Bleeding Heart had another bout today

He tries and he lies and he doesn't know why

His ego gets in the way

So poor old Captain Bleeding Heart stumbles around his day

He lets out a sigh, puts his hand to his eye

can't think while he's away



REFRAIN:

Well it's hard sometimes when you're far from home

and you feel you've lost your way

So put your socks back on, put your toys away

and please drag your bleeding heart home



Poor old Captain Bleeding Heart woke up alone today

He goes to the phone but knows she's not home

and he wouldn't know what to say

With an if and a but and a pain in his gut

let her do the talking today

So poor old Captain Bleeding Heart

put his foot in his mouth today

He doesn't know what, should keep his mouth shut

he's gotta learn what to say



REFRAIN (x2)



Poor old Captain Bleeding Heart

feels sorry for himself today



Well it's hard sometimes when you're alone at home

and you feel you've lost your way

So put your pants back home, put your bed away

And please drag your bleeding heart home
