You said you were leaving, and I said go on
I don't know exactly what it is, but something went wrong
It wasn't for nothing, it made a sad rhyme
I'm sorry I saw you, I meant to stay blind
And I'm gonna go out steppin'
With my new man tonight
Gonna go out steppin'
With my new man tonight
If my mother should ask me where you've gone
Gonna tell her that you joined the Marines, and she'll say, "C'mon"
And then she'll start laughing and so will I
I'm glad that I'm laughing, it's a good way to die
And I'm gonna go out steppin'
With my new man tonight
Gonna go out steppin'
With my new man tonight
When I finish my laundry and air out my head
Gonna look for another longhaired man to help me make my bed
You know that I'll miss you, but strangely I'm glad
Gonna make it without you, and that's what's so sad
Gonna make it alone and that's what's sad
Gonna make it alone and that's what's sad
'Cause you know that I'll miss you, but strangely I'm glad
Gonna make it alone, and that's what's so sad
