She’s not the one I would choose if I was 17 At least if I had one more chance to please find a way to let me go my way and you can do the same if there’s still time.
The door to the bedroom doesn’t close as tight As you’ve made your heart to keep me out And why would I risk another honeymoon Considering the first one didn’t take
I know you’ll leave me by myself I know you’ll leave me by myself
Oh we’ll attend to me when I grow old You’ll be raising someone else’s kids And I don’t suppose you’d think about a trade The years that we both wasted for your health
I know you’ll leave me by myself I know you’ll leave me by myself.
If you sign the papers when I’m not around Try for now to use your maiden name And don’t find someone who treats you like I did You deserve a better man than me
I know you’ll leave me by myself I know you’ll leave me by myself
