Saw him with his his hands on your hips
How many have sunk from your lips
And you say hush
And kept on dancing round in my head
And kept on dancing round in my head
Took the cigarette out of your mouth
Hand rolled you must feel mighty proud
And you smiled
And whispered why don't you stay a little while
Why don't you you stay a little while
One day I'm guna cut up a rug
Slice myself and open up
And you'll see
A whole new side of me
A whole new side of me
Saw you leaving with your new man
Saw you leaving hand in hand
And I prayed
For the lord to take my sight away
For the lord to take my breath away
In my dreams I can ask you why
You always look at me and you say with a sigh
You say boy
You had me then you let me go
Why'd you ever let me go
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know!
