lyrics

Love ain’t done me right, I’m just a shell
it’s grief from here as far as I can see
without someone to catch me when I fell
the only fool to pick me up was me

Woe is me, sad as I can be
I fell in love, but I guess I didn’t know her
oh my, she hung me out to dry
I couldn’t trust girl as far as I could throw her

I sit and watch the people passing by
And they all got someplace they want to be
Sometimes someone stops and asks me why
It looks like there’s a dark cloud over me

Woe is me, lonely as I can be
it was a sucker punch below the belt, or lower
oh my, she hung me out to dry
I couldn’t trust girl as far as I could throw her

One time there was a candle in the night
sweetest purest light that ever shone
then that lady up and snuffed the light
and left me in the darkness all alone

Woe is me, sad as I can be
she’s a lovely girl until you get to know her
oh my, she hung me out to dry
so don’t trust girl as far as you can throw her
I couldn't trust that girl as far as I could throw her
