Sit down, oh darling,
won't you sit down beside me?
Though I fear that I've
no good news to tell
Oh, yes, hold me now,
if for one last time only
And talk to the boy you used to know
Tell me all about your man,
how he's sweet and he's stable
And he's free with the love I did hide
And make me see how I was cruel
Oh, wait on your shoulders
And he's lifted you up where you belong
I play like a poor, wounded angel
But I am a good timing man
The innocent boy who
would send you to sleep
Is but a memory
And when you wake up in the morning
With that man at your table
Set perfect for a family of two
Oh, please think not of me
But your new true love only
It's enough that I'm thinking of you
I play like a poor, wounded angel
But I am a good timing man
The innocent boy who
would send you to sleep
Is but a memory, so here's to forgetting
I play like a poor wounded angel
But I am a good timing man
The innocent boy who
would send you to sleep
Is but a memory
Oh oh oh oh
