You said that I would be sorry If you went away You said I wouldn't be happy Without hell to pay You said the teardrops would fall Between the bedroom walls You said that I would regret But it hasn't happened yet Your friends come over and offer To take me to eat They seem so sorry I'm suffering So much misery They say to just give a call Next time that I start to crawl I always say yeah you bet But it hasn't happened yet I don't have anyone I'm having fun Nobody's into me No one's a mystery I see you on the street My heart don't miss a beat Love and hostility Don't mean a thing to me I find it hard to remember The good times we had Call me insensitive Now that it's over, I'm glad You said when big shadows fell It would be too hard to tell My life from your silhouette But it hasn't happened yet Don't hold your breath, baby
