But you didn't know just why?
Did you ever sit up all night long
Just listening to that same old song
The one they played when she said
Right, I know you did, oh, you kid
Did you really think that
Wasn't that rather naive of you?
And now she'd dropped you like
She's got you drinking gin
And you know that's a sin
I know that you think that
Wrong, it's not the way to live
You only get what you give!
You can live your life just as you please
But, when you lie with dogs,
And now she's brought you
Arms that used to hold you tight
You miss them in the middle of night
You burned a candle at both ends
Now it's too late...too late
Enemies glad to see you down
People, they don't want you
Did you ever want to cry,
But you didn't know just why?
Wrong, it's not the way to live
Did you ever want to cry...
