|
My ship came and she sunk it |
|
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it |
|
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground |
|
And now's she's puttin' on a show and |
|
I get to play the clown |
|
I had the wind in my sails and she took it |
|
I had the world by the tail and she shook it |
|
I reached out for a lifeline and she threw me a noose |
|
I got the short end of the chicken and |
|
She got the golden goose |
|
She's livin' it up, and I'm tryin' to live it down |
|
Just when I got it all together, |
|
It's all about to come unwound |
|
Everbody laughing behind my back, baby |
|
Sure is a sad old sound |
|
She's out there livin' it up and I'm tryin' to live it down |
|
Oh man I'm having a hard time |
|
I wouldn't talk to a dog the way that woman talks to me |
|
Sheesh, and money |
|
I ain't got no more money |
|
She done spent all my money |
|
It's bad bad business, bad business |
|
I had my ducks in a row and she shot 'em |
|
I had my eggs in a basket and she dropped 'em |
|
I her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang |
|
Sometime you get the honey |
|
Sometime all you get is the sting |
|
She's livin' it up, and I'm tryin' to live it down |
|
Just when I got it all together, |
|
It's all about to come unwound |
|
Everbody laughing behind my back, baby, |
|
Sure is a sad old sound |
|
She's out there livin' it up and I'm tryin' to live it down |
|
She's livin' it up, and I may never live it down |
