How can you say that you need me

when you never look me in the face

How can you say that you love me

when you've been messing around all over the place

I wen downtown yesterday and I was walking in the marketplace

Everybody laughed at me, they wispered that I was a disgrace.

You've been out all night drinking again

and you never even bother to call

Been crossin blades with god knows who

you're headed for your rise and fall

Sooner or later I'll wake up and wipe the sleep out of my eyes

Later that day when you wake up you'll be in for a big surprise

You'll talk about yourself all night when you really are a bore

You give me flowers to my face,

behind my back you call me a whore

I've had enough of your god knows what,

I think it's time for you to leave

I've forgiven you too many times before;

this time you get no reprieve

The bed's too big without you but I suppose it'll have to do

Better to lay in an empty bed than spend another night beside you

People talkin all over town about the way you've been puttin me down

People talkin all over town,

they don't wanna see you around
