Well I was walking with the blues so bad
You wouldn’t even call me back
So I was hoping
You were dead
Well I was thinking of myself I guess
This time I really made a mess
And it’s a shame you have to
Be the one to clean it up
I thought to send you my regret
Instead I send condolences
Because something died
The day we broke your heart
And you can keep my books
You can keep my hat
You can keep my love, girl I don’t need that
I know you need it much more than I do
Well you went looking for another man
Someone to love you like I can’t
A boy to be a puppet on a string
But I’m a man a damn good lover too
And my big blue eyes saw right through you
I just stayed around to watch you break
But you had to get your word in last
The product of a pampered past
A living, breathing
Real life animal
And you act too sweet
To be so proud
I didn’t mean for to call you out
But my x-ray scan showed a breaking heart
Now I am walking with the blues no more
Picked myself up off the floor
“Get up boy, that ain’t no way to live”
But I still think of you now and again
Believe me I tried to forget
Your lying smiling eyes and devil grin
I know a lot can make you blue these days
But you should never be afraid
To find yourself before you find a mate
And I could buy you fourteen diamond rings
But I can’t be your everything
You need yourself and not my careless love
