It was at seventeen that she was like an unbroken mare It was the likes of he that put her in an ugly despair She despaired and he always was leaving She would jump but her building isn’t tall And she’d really only likely break her leg from the fall
La la la La la la
She’s counting dishes up that she has broken up on the floor She only needs one place setting now so she thinks she’ll break more She broke more and then she started cryin’ She would never see him walk through the door And she realized she’d never needed him before
La la la La la la La la la
She got real sad and walked down to the bar right next to her house She’d always been real quiet, real quiet, you know like a mouse Like a mouse and then she started drinking and she climbed on the piano to sing And she sang about that he had never really meant a thing This is what she said
Oh la la la, La la la la, La la la la, La La La Oh la la la, La la la la, La la la la, La La La Oh la la, La La La And she’s cryin’
She will never see him walk through her door But she knows now that she doesn’t want him anymore
