You know it's so hard to be in love with someone
It's so hard to be in love with someone that don't love you
And it carries a heavy burden on your heart to know that the someone they love
Is your very best friend
I tell you when somebody else is rocking your cradle
Better than you can rock your cradle yourself
Is only one thing left in this world for you to do
Pack your clothes, turn around
Walk slowly out the door
Look over your left shoulder
Hang your head and say

If you ever think about me
If I ever cross your mind
Girl, girl if you ever think about me, pretty baby
If I ever cross your mind
Woah, yeah

Well, you know, you know I'm yours
I know, I know you're mine

After you can't stand it no more
You go on downtown to the pawn shop
And get yourself a pistol
And then you make it
Back up on the scene
Where your loved one and your
Best friend are now together

You go right in and bust
Down the door and shoot him
You can't shoot her
Because you know if you shoot her
All of your love and your long
Lifetime will be gone forever

And just as you make it up
In your mind to forgive her
Here come another one of
Your best friends through the door

This really makes you blow your top
And you go right ahead and go in aversion
To your heart and shoot her

And realizing what you've done
You say, baby, please forgive me
I'm sorry

And with her last dying breath
She looks up at you and say
Do do do do
Woah, oh
Do do do do
Woah, oh
Do do do do
Woah, oh
