My old lady's on the other side of town with her ex-boyfriend
Drinkin' again, drinkin' again
So you choose to lose someone who loves you and a real good friend
For a bottle of gin, a bottle of sin

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
Now I'm sittin' at the top of the hill
Now my heart is broken and I'm all alone
And I don't know what to feel since you've been gone, gone away

I over heard somebody say they saw you cryin' in the bar last night
With a blackened eye, blackened eye
I know mistakes I made, but this time you came in for another
That will treat you right, treat you right

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
Now I'm sittin' at the top of the hill
Now my heart is broken and I'm all alone
And I don't know what to feel since you've been gone, gone away

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
Now I'm sittin' at the top of the hill
Now my heart is broken and I'm all alone
And I don't know what to feel since you've been gone, gone away
Gone away

Used to love me, now you want to leave me
Right when I told you, 'I love you'
Don't think you ever believed me when I said
You used to love me now you want to run away
Right when I told you, 'I love you'
Don't think you ever believed me when I said

Ohh, I love you, oh, I love you, I love you
You were my baby, oh, you were my love sugar darling
I know he didn't love you the way I did
Baby, oh yea, oh I love you
Don't you know I cared? Don't you know I love you?
And I always want to be there
Oh, and you know I'd loved you, hey, you know I'd loved you baby
And you know he really didn't care about you
I never would have hit you baby, no no
Said I've never would have hit you baby, oh no, oh no
You know I loved you and I, I really did care about you baby
Ohh, you know I loved you, you know I loved you baby
How could he hit you baby?
