after i hung up my
heart for you darling
and i said if you ever need me
all you had to do was call
i stood up and i told the
whole wide world that
you were good for me baby
yes then you laughed and
you called me your personal clown
in front of all your friends
you walked away and you left me
standing up like a fool
i couldn’t even go to my
friends or my relations
all i could do was stand up
and hang my head in shame
you see what you cost me
you cost my mother
the love of my father
sister my brother too
oh yes you did
you see now what you’ve caused
and i know just what i lost
and i know what the price
i paid i paid i paid
for loving someone like you
oh i can hear my friends saying
i told you told you i told you
and i can hear my mother say
fool i told you
you see what you
oh yes you do
you look back and
you wonder sometimes
and i see the price i payed
i payed for loving someone
someone someone someone like you
baby i don’t care
what the world might say
i’m gonna love you any old way
and although you let me down baby
my my my deep down in my heart
i feel for nobody else but you
say what you want
and i don’t care what my
mother and my father might say
say what you like
and i don’t care if the
world talk about me darling
but oh sometimes sometimes
i just sit in my lonely room
and i moan all to myself
why don’t come back home
now holler to me baby
my my my my my baby
