Lyrics
SAD BUT TRUE
Words and Music by Ervin R. Maynard
Copyright, 2003
==============================
I said why why why
You gotta tell me your lies
Gotta leave me heart-
broken and blue
Hey hey hey
Why you treat me this way
Doin' all those things that you do
Don't you understand
I tried to be your man
Sad but true
You say yes yes yes
In your little red dress
To everybody but me
Boo hoo hoo
You got me cryin' for you
When you act so carelessly
I was a fool for you
Baby we're through
Sad but true
Well you go out early
You come home late
You been runnin' all over town
I ask you where you been
And all you say
Is around and around and around
Bye bye bye
Go and find a new guy
Time to bow out gracefully
Well well well
I've broken out of your spell
No more poor poor pitiful me
I was a fool for you
Baby we're through
Sad but true
So long to you
It's long overdue
Sad but true
