| Here I stand lonely, just a heartbroken guy
|
| I used to be a laugher, 'till I made my baby cry
|
| And I knew my baby loved me, I was overconfident
|
| So I did her wrong, now she’s gone, I don’t know which way she went
|
| My baby forgave me so much time and time and time again
|
| Cause when your baby starts to walk away
|
| And tells you no need to follow
|
| And nothing you do, seems to make her stay
|
| It’s a bitter pill to have to swallow
|
| But the way the ball bounces, that’s the way the cookie crumbles
|
| From the top to the bottom, that’s a long way to tumble
|
| Oh when you realize that you’re no longer first on your baby’s list
|
| And the home you thought you had forever no longer exists
|
| You wake up and you discover what a great fool you have been
|
| Cause when your baby starts to walk away
|
| And tells you no need to follow
|
| And nothing you do, seems to make her stay
|
| It’s a bitter pill to have to swallow
|
| Ooh baby, what kind of fool am I?
|
| To know that you love me and yet I made you cry
|
| Baby when I think it over
|
| It’s fault that I’m here, gone, but I’d like to do it over
|
| And would deliver my love to you warm
|
| And on and on
|
| Oh darling you forgave me so much time and time and time again
|
| Cause when your baby starts to walk away
|
| And tells you no need to follow
|
| And nothing you do, seems to make her stay
|
| It’s a bitter pill to have to swallow
|
| Cause when your baby starts to walk away
|
| And tells you no need to follow
|
| And nothing you do, seems to make her stay
|
| It’s a bitter pill to have to swallow |
