Your bedroom blackmail has worked real good
You've gone and left home like you said you would
The note you scribbled on the kitchen wall
Said, "so long, stupid!" and that was all
I suppose that i should be relieved
Even act just a little pleased
But since you gone life has been such a bore
Why did you leave me for the girl next door?
My barroom buddies think it's rather strange
They laugh at me and call you funny names
My mother said she knew all along
Always said that you would do me wrong
Still i wish you would consider, dear,
Leaving her and returning here
'cause since you gone life has been such a bore
Why did you leave me for the girl next door?
Wish that i could be like bogie
Hey, i'd sweep you off your feet
But now you tell me that she can give you
Everything you need
You've wrecked my head i really must confess
You've left me in the most dreadful mess
I always thought you were so super straight
But i found out about you too late
I suppose that i should be relieved
Even act just a little pleased
But since you gone, life has been such a bore
Why did you leave me for the girl next door?
