Lyrics

[00:28.22] It serve you right to suffer, serve you right to be alone
[00:41.14] Serve you right to suffer, serve you right to be alone
[00:51.54] Because you're still livin' in days done past and gone
[01:10.37] Ev'rytime you see a woman she make you think of yours
[01:22.21] Yeah, ev'rytime you see a woman she make you think of yours
[01:34.79] And that's why, that's why, that's why you can't keep from cryin'
[01:51.14] Your doctor put you on milk, cream and alcohol
[02:10.00] Your doctor put you on milk, cream and alcohol
[02:25.55] He told you that's why you can't sleep at night
[02:33.11] From nerves, so bad, yeah
[03:23.32] Ev'ry time you see a woman she makes you think of yours
[03:37.61] Ev'rytime you see a woman she make you think of your own
[03:50.20] She treated you so bad you just couldn't keep from cryin'
[04:02.39] Umm, mmm, mmm, your life never be the same
[04:18.00] Umm, umm, mmm, you're still livin' in the days
[04:27.28] Done gone past and gone and memories, yeah, yeah
[04:43.52] You can't live on in that way, in the past
[04:50.98] Them days is gone, gone
