Don't call my name out your window when I'm leavin'
I won't even turn my head
Don't sent your kinfolks, to give me no talkin'
I'll be gone, like I said
You'd just say the same old thing
That you be sayin' all along
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut, till I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cryin', cussin' moan
Understand your man
Meditate on it
Understand your man
And you can give my other suit to the Salvation Army
And anything else I leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'
While I'm untangeling my mind
And I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man
Hear me talking now honey?
Understand your man
Understand your man
Meditate on it
Understand your man
I won't even turn my head
Don't sent your kinfolks, to give me no talkin'
I'll be gone, like I said
You'd just say the same old thing
That you be sayin' all along
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut, till I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cryin', cussin' moan
Understand your man

Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Unhappy Birthday, to me
My birthday is tomorrow night
But I won't celebrate
The boy I love just told me
That he has another date
I'll be sorry
Sorry sixteen
So unhappy birthday, to me
For years and years he's been the
Only boy I've ever known
So at my party I will be
The only one alone
I'll be sorry
Sorry sixteen
So unhappy birthday, to me
I'll blow out the candles
That circle the cake
And try to hide my tears
But no matter how many, wishes I make
They'll all be the same
They'd all have his name
If he does not show up at all
Before my guests depart
Then I will know his gift to me
Is just a broken heart
I'll be sorry
Sorry sixteen
So unhappy birthday, to me
(Happy Birthday)
So unhappy birthday, to me

Happy Birthday
Unhappy Birthday, to me
My birthday is tomorrow night

Wait, a minute
Before you walk out the door
And out of my life
What will I do if you leave me?
I will cry
If I can't make you believe me
I'll die
So darlin'
Wait, a minute
Think of how it was before
When you were my love
And you were my life
Yes you were the soul of me
But you say you must go now
I don't know what for
Everything has changed now
It's not like before
Maybe you've found someone
That you love more
Can't you hear me callin'
As you walk out the door
Wait, for me
Wait, wait for me
You say you must go now
I don't know what for
Everything has changed now
It's not like before
Maybe you've found someone
That you love more
Can't you hear me callin'
As you walk out the door
Wait, wait for me
Please wait, wait for me
Oh won't you wait
Won't you wait for me
Wait, for me
Wait, a minute
Before you walk out the door
And out of my life
What will I do if you leave me?

And when I see the sign
That points one way
The light we used to pass by
Every day
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my
block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears
I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain
That I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down
Upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
[Instrumental]
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down
Upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Your name and mine inside
A heart on a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me
Though they are so small
Just walk away Renee

The mowing of the green alfalfa hay
We all miss you Joe

I thought I saw the promise of forever in your eyes
I thought that I was sure of what I saw
You led me to believe that I was special in your life
So I left my heart wide open for the fall
What a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache, what a heartache
Love ain't always what it appears to be
What a heartache you turned out to be
I thought I'd found a safe and lovin' place inside your heart
And I was warm and willing anytime
The same soft lips that kissed me sweet
Were lyin' from the start
But I swear I thought your love was genuine
What a heartache you turned out to be
What a heartache, what a heartache
Like a switchblade that cuts quick and deep
Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be
It just goes to show that you never can tell
I really thought that I knew you well
I still can't believe I could be deceived so easily
Are all these wishes I'm wishin' to myself
Like rusty coins in a wishin' well
Wishes come true, they come false as well
It's too late for you and me
Oh, what a heartache, ooo, what a heart break
Love is two-faced and easy to believe
What a heartache, ooo, what a heartache
What a mistake to think I could believe
Ooo, what a heartache you turned out to be
Oh, what a heartache you turned out to be
I thought that I was sure of what I saw
You led me to believe that I was special in your life
So I left my heart wide open for the fall
What a heartache you turned out to be

Cold, empty bed,
Springs hard as lead,
Pains in my head,
Feel like old Ned.
What did I do
To be so black and blue?
No joys for me,
No company,
Even the mouse
Ran from my house,
All my life through
I've been so
Black and blue.
I'm so forlorn,
Life's just a thorn,
My heart is torn,
Why was I born?
What did I do to be so
Black and blue?
I'm white inside,
But that don't help my case.
'Cause I can't hide
What is on my face,
Oh!
[Alternative lyrics

I'm sad inside,
But it don't help my case

Cold, empty bed,
Springs hard as lead,
Pains in my head,
Feel like old Ned.
What did I do
To be so black and blue?
No joys for me,
No company,
Even the mouse
Ran from my house,
All my life through
I've been so
Black and blue.
I'm so forlorn,
Life's just a thorn,
My heart is torn,
Why was I born?
What did I do to be so
Black and blue?
I'm white inside,
But that don't help my case.
'Cause I can't hide
What is on my face,
Oh!
[Alternative lyrics
for the last verse]
I'm sad inside,
But it don't help my case
'Cause I can't hide
All the sorrow
That's on my face.
Springs hard as lead,
Pains in my head,
Feel like old Ned.
What did I do
To be so black and blue?
No joys for me,
No company,
Even the mouse
Ran from my house,
All my life through
I've been so
Black and blue.
I'm so forlorn,
Life's just a thorn,
My heart is torn,
Why was I born?
What did I do to be so
Black and blue?
I'm white inside,
But that don't help my case.
'Cause I can't hide
What is on my face,
Oh!
[Alternative lyrics
for the last verse]
I'm sad inside,
But it don't help my case
'Cause I can't hide
All the sorrow
That's on my face.

Once I used to turn away
I never hear a word you'd say
Suddenly your words run true
I started to believe in you
Now I love you but you are gone
There's nothing left to build upon
In a world I never knew
I thought I could depend on you
For love
Come to you for love
You could make a day for me
Seem like a year of ecstasy
Every moment spent apart
Was like a sword thrust through my heart
I thought our love would grow and grow
But all that seems so long ago
Were you just too blind to see that
You were more than life to me
For what good am I?
Without you, to love me
I just want to cry
Cause nobody loves me
I thought I had you
For my own, you were mine, mine alone
But suddenly you turned away
And I live in your shadow now
You never loved me anyhow
When you should have let me be
You went and made a fool of me
And like a fool, I played the part
And tried to live without a heart
An empty shell that lingers on
But won't admit that love has gone
For what good am I?
Without you, to love me
I just want to cry
Cause nobody loves me
I thought I had you
For my own, you were mine, mine alone
But suddenly you turned away
For what good am I?
Without you, to love me
I just want to cry
Cause nobody loves me
I thought I had you
For my own, you were mine, mine alone
But suddenly you turned away
Oh what good am I?
Oh what good am I?
Oh what good am I?
I never hear a word you'd say
Suddenly your words run true
I started to believe in you
Now I love you but you are gone
There's nothing left to build upon
In a world I never knew
I thought I could depend on you
For love
Come to you for love
You could make a day for me
Seem like a year of ecstasy
Every moment spent apart
Was like a sword thrust through my heart
I thought our love would grow and grow
But all that seems so long ago
Were you just too blind to see that
You were more than life to me
For what good am I?
Without you, to love me
I just want to cry
Cause nobody loves me
I thought I had you
For my own, you were mine, mine alone
But suddenly you turned away
And I live in your shadow now

And like a fool, I played the part
And tried to live without a heart
An empty shell that lingers on

For what good am I?
Without you, to love me

For my own, you were mine, mine alone
But suddenly you turned away
Oh what good am I?
Oh what good am I?

Look what they done to my song ma
Look what they done to my song
Well, it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong ma
Look what they done to my song
Look what they done to my brain ma
Look what they done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane ma
Look what they done to my song
Wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look at
What they done to my song
Look what they done to my song
But maybe it'll all be alright ma,
Maybe it'll all be okay
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich someday ma
Look what they done to my song
Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
Look what they done to my song ma
Look what they done to my song ma
Well, they tied it up in a plastic bag
And turned it upside down ma
Look what they done to my song
Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson
Look what they done to my song ma
Look what they done to my song
It's the only thing I could do alright
And they turned it upside down
Oh ma, look what they done to my song
Look what they done to my song
Well, it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong ma
Look what they done to my song
Look what they done to my brain ma
Look what they done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane ma
Look what they done to my song
Wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look at
What they done to my song
Look what they done to my song
