You know, it's so hard to be in love with someone.
It's so hard to be in love with someone that don't love you.
And it carries a heavy burden on your heart to know
That the someone they love is your very best friend.
I tell you, when someone else is rocking your cradle
Better than you can rock your cradle yourself,
There's only one thing left in this world for you to do.
Pack your clothes, turn around,
Walk slowly through the door.
Look over your left shoulder, hang your head and say...
If you ever think about me,
If I ever cross your mind.
Girl, if you ever think about me, pretty baby,
If I ever cross your mind,
Whoa, oh, yeah.
You know I'm yours, I'm yours.
I know, I know you're mine.
After you can't stand it no more,
You go on downtown to the pawn shop
And buy yourself a pistol.
And then you make it back up on the scene
Where your loved one and your best friend
Are now together.
You go right in and bust down the door and shoot him.
You can't shoot her because you know if you shoot her,
All your love and your long lifetime will be gone forever.
And just as you make it up in your mind to forgive her,
Here come another one of your best friends through the door.
This really makes you blow your top.
And you go right ahead and go in person to your heart
And shoot her.
And realizing what you've done, you say,
"Baby, please forgive me. I'm sorry."
And with her last dying breath, she looks up at you and says...
Doo, doo, doo, doo.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, oooh.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
