Pretty Girl from Michigan

Can you not see what you've done?

You gave your heart away like that.

I didn't want to fall in love with anyone, but you did.

I can still hear the song,

The melody behind the kiss you gave me.

You were wrong, I was right- so I walked away,

And left you there, alone-

I got so tired of talkin on the telephone,

How many times would we say the words goodbye

I made mistakes, and one was telling you that I'd be there,

When telling time had come,

I should've said I didn't care.

Ohh, the time I would have saved,

If I had been less willing to accommodate,

You'd been a little less likely to cry.

You go back to the high life,

And I'll go back to the low.

I should've known, but now I know-

There'll be no word from you,

Describing how it felt to go through what I put you through.

It all makes perfect sense.

The way you cut the rope,

That kept you dangling from such pitiful amounts of hope-

I would have cut it too.
