I used to go out to parties and shows
Back when she really, really loved me so.
Then he came along like a stormy sea,
Not too long ago,
Now she don't love me anymore.
Oh-wo-ooh-oh Oh-wo-oh-ooh-wo-wo
And she did walk 'neath the tall oak tree,
Talkin' 'bout how happy, how happy we would be
Then he came along like a devil in disguise
Not too long ago,
Now I've got tears in my eyes.
She always said I was her world
And our love would never die,
She always said we'd ever be as one
But she left me for let my heart to cry.
Now I'm so lonely, lonely and blue,
‘Cause there’s nobody there I can turn to,
I just let her get away from me
Not too long ago,
Now I've got tears in my eyes.
She always said I was her world
And our love would never die,
She always said we'd ever be as one
But she left me for let my heart to cry.
Now I'm so lonely, lonely and blue,
‘Cause there’s nobody there I can talk to,
I just let her get away from me
Not too long ago
And now I’m in a misery.
Not too long ago
Oh-wo-ooh-oh Oh-wo-oh-ooh-wo-wo
I thought I had a a true fine love, but I was wrong, wrong, so wrong.
‘Cause I lost it
Oh-wo-ooh-oh Oh-wo-oh-ooh-wo-wo
Not too long ago
And now I feel the sting of bitter tears in my eyes
Salt water tears in my eyes
‘cause I lost it
not too long ago
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-wo-oh-oh
