Leave Me by Myself

She's not the one that 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
