Your bedroom blackmail has worked real good You've gone and left home like you said you would The note you scribbled on the kitchen wall Said, "so long, stupid!" and that was all I suppose that i should be relieved Even act just a little pleased But since you gone life has been such a bore Why did you leave me for the girl next door? My barroom buddies think it's rather strange They laugh at me and call you funny names My mother said she knew all along Always said that you would do me wrong Still i wish you would consider, dear, Leaving her and returning here 'cause since you gone life has been such a bore Why did you leave me for the girl next door? Wish that i could be like bogie Hey, i'd sweep you off your feet But now you tell me that she can give you Everything you need You've wrecked my head i really must confess You've left me in the most dreadful mess I always thought you were so super straight But i found out about you too late I suppose that i should be relieved Even act just a little pleased But since you gone, life has been such a bore Why did you leave me for the girl next door?
