Hold me but not too tight
Cause I'm walking out on you tonight
This just ain't right
Blow me a goodbye kiss
So I can see what I would have missed
Put it on my list
Your clothesline is strung up too high
Looks like you're gonna hang me out to dry
This is my goodbye
It ain't no lie
The look you give, it makes me sad
Like there's nothing you can lose
So what else can a poor boy do?
Don't stand up and walk away
It's ugly here anyway
I'll be on my way
Don't have no job, no girl, no home
And I'd like to spend some time alone
Where no one knows
Spare me that tired line
Believe me, I've made up my mind
I'll be doing fine
Once I get mine
The look you give, it makes me sad
Like there's nothing you can lose
So what else can a poor boy do?
