LYRICS

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone

You're right, and I'm left all alone

Well, you tried to tell me so

But how was I to know

That she was not the one for me?

You told me all along

You're right, our love was so wrong

But now I changed my mind

Because she broke the ties that bind

And I know that she never cared for me

Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do

I guess I'm not so smart

Oh, you tried to tell me along

She'd only break my heart

I'm left, you're right, she's gone

You're right, and I'm left all alone

Well, she's gone I know not where

But now I just don't care

For now I'm falling for you

If you'll forgive me now

I'll make it up somehow

So happy we will be

In a home just for three

And I'll soon forget her, now I know

Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do

I guess I'm not so smart

You tried to tell me all along

She'd only break my heart

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone

You're right, and I'm left all alone

Well, she's gone, I know not where

But now I just don't care

For now I've fallen for you
