Kick Me When I'm Down

I had to leave her when I done her wrong

Figured I can come back before too long

And too soon as I moved out, you started comin' around

Just like an old friend to kick me when I'm down

Seems you got the story on the rumor mill

She had a billionaire uncle, she was in his will

You were cryin' at the funeral, makin' mournful sounds

Just like an old friend to kick me when I'm down

Kick me when I'm down, down level with the ground

Spread it all around, all over this town

Everybody I know knows I'm nothin' but a clown

Ain't it like an old friend to kick me when I'm down?

I figured that I knew when enough was enough

I went back to her place, pick up all my stuff

Well, I was slippin' in the back door, I heard you bouncin' in the bed

I forgot about my toothbrush and I went for my gun instead

Then a picture in the paper, invitation in the mail

I couldn't make the wedding, I couldn't go my bail

I got your honeymoon postcard, jailer brought it around

It's just like an old friend, they want to kick me when I'm down

Kick me when I'm down, down level with the ground

Spread it all around, all over this town

Everybody I know knows I'm nothin' but a clown

Ain't it like an old friend to kick me when I'm down?

Kick me when I'm down, down level with the ground

Spread it all around, all over this town

Everybody I know knows I'm nothin' but a clown

Ain't it like an old friend to kick me when I'm down?

Just like an old friend to kick me when I'm down
