Lost your way and found another man's bed instead
yes you did
and his shoulder was free,
but he can't sing as good as me
and my mama still asks about you
instead all my speeches,
sound better as lines

it all went to hell when you got your pictures,
because you finally believed me when i said that you were so pretty
it all went to hell when you got your nerve,
because you realized that i don't deserve you,
and that's for damn sure
instead my love letters read better as lines

now you're gorgeous,
now you're gone
love you better since you're sleeping around
now you're gorgeous,
now you're gone
now you're gorgeous,
and i'm drinking alone

and i gladly would grieve you,
but i can't perceive you,
by and by i will
and i gladly would save you
but i can't behave
and i'm workin on it,
oh i'm workin on it
instead all my love letters
read better as lines

now you're gorgeous,
now you're gone
love you better since you're sleeping around
now you're gorgeous,
now you're gone
now you're gorgeous,
and i'm dancing alone, dancing alone
now you're gorgeous,
now you're gone
i love you better since you're sleeping around
and now you're priceless,
and i am so very poor
you were gorgeous and i'm drinkin alone
