Well I was pretty young
She was young and pretty
I was so naive
It was such a pity
I said now baby don’t you waste your time
Just cryin’ for me
I gotta go away for a while
And you can be free
And baby, baby, it’s my turn to cry
Baby, baby, it’s my turn to cry
I found a job
And you found a lover
He’d been married before
But you needed the shelter
When I told you to have a good time
I think you took me all wrong
Next thing I know you’re engaged
And a kid is coming along
(I’m sittin’ at home, watchin’ the walls
My mouth is parched, my stomach’s tight
You said goodbye, you turned you back
I guess you know what’s right . . .
I’m sittin’ at home, watchin’ the walls
Birdcage mouth, I lost the fight
You said goodbye, you turned you back
I guess you know what’s right . . .)
I found a job
And you found a lover
He’d been married before
But you needed the shelter
And baby, baby, it’s my turn to cry
Baby, baby, it’s my turn to cry
