It's a shame for you to do me the way you did, babe Making me put you down before I was through You tempted me and tried me and I kept you right beside me You ruined me for everyone but you It's easy to love a thing so warm and soothing That gets you through the night so tenderly But after all these nights with you all I remember Is forgetting just how cold your heart can be Leaving you won't be any harder Than walking out the door and leaving town But I'll be leaving, knowing, surviving, you don't make me stronger Than the weakest man who's ever turned you down The body in that pretty dress you wore dear Fit my shaking hand just like a glove But tremblings for the fearful, old and crying Getting old and sad, and scared ain't worth your love So will you let me go just like I came, babe? Willful, clear of mind and free to see Clear enough to see the others like you And mindful my will breaks so easily Leaving you won't be any harder Than walking out the door and leaving town But I'll be leaving, knowing, surviving, you don't make me stronger Than the weakest man who's ever turned you down And leaving you won't be any harder Than walking out the door and leaving town But I'll be leaving, knowing, surviving, you don't make me stronger Than the weakest man who's ever turned you down
