She took all my money. Wrecked my new car.
Now she's with one of my good time buddies,
they're drinkin' in some crosstown bar.
Sometimes I feel,

My friends tell me that I've been such a fool.
And I have stand by and take it babe, oh, for lovin' you.
I drown myself in sorrow, cause I look at what you've done.
But nothin' seems to change, the bad time stay the same,
