She left me cold and hungry by the riverside She left me so downhearted there and I really cried About mistakes I'd made and it's a crying shame I can't believ the way they start all over again She left me cold and hungry by the riverside Without a word or a note, so I couldn't find A reason for to stay where I wanted to stay There didn't seem to me to be anyway I got away from the city from the riverside And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel I turned around to be where I wanted to be I got away from the city from the riverside And it was all nitty gritty there, however I tried I didn't wait to feel how I knew I would feel I had to turn around, 'cos I wouldn't be found Don't blame me or point your finger at me I'm not blind and I see, don't point your finger at me Don't you do it, don't you do it to me Don't point your finger my way Don't put the blame all my way She found me so light-hearted by the riverside She didn't cry or try and I didn't mind 'Cos I just had to stay wher I wanted to stay And the mistakes I made, I made them anyway She left me cold and hungry by the riverside And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel I turned around to be where I wanted to be Don't blame me or point your finger at me I'm not blind and I see, don't point your finger at me Don't you do it, don't you do it to me Don't point your finger my way Don't put the blame all my way She left me cold and hungry by the riverside And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel I turned around to be where I wanted to be She left me cold and hungry by the riverside Riverside, riverside...
