A cigarette a-burnin' as I stumble off to bed
I just might get some sleep if I could get you off my head
Awhile
I guess it's cause I thought that you would never go away
And I could come home to you if I'd had one of those days
That's hard
But it's not quite as easy
As those old songs used to say
And when I try to love another
I can't help but see your face
So I go out everynight and have a couple twenty drinks
It's easier to feel you know when you don't have to think
At all
Lisa tries to help you know and so does Mary Lou
But they don't give me trouble like the jealous side of you
Would do
But even though you made it easy
To find a reason to complain
I never thought that by your leaving
That you'd have so much to gain
So I'll probably run into you in another month or three
And you'll be with another who ain't near as cute as me
And that's good
