“Tear Drop City”

’Bout as low as I’ve felt in a long time
And I know that I did her wrong at the wrong time
It’s plain to see
She’s down on me
And I know she’ll feel that way for a long time

I was high on top, but I didn’t know it
Tell me why did I have to go and blow it?
I used my lines
Too many times
And now I’ve got a badly hurt heart to show it

Took me too long to discover
How much I really love her
How’d I ever end up in this bag?
What a drag

There she goes, lookin’ for a pretty clover
No one knows what it’s like ’til it’s over
Without a doubt
I just found out
And I suppose I never did get to know her
Tear Drop City
Tear Drop City

Took me too long to discover
How much I really love her
How’d I ever end up in this bag?
What a drag

’Bout as low as I’ve felt in a long time
I’m ’bout as low as I’ve felt in a long time
I’m ’bout as low as I’ve felt in a long time
I’m ’bout as low as I’ve felt in a long time
