Lyrics
Oh my Loretta, what am I to do
Any change in weather makes me feel no better
I keep feelin blue
Even when the sun shines or dark clouds may be few
Oh my Loretta when you put on that leather
I'm cryin out
She says she's got friends up at 4th and Main
At a bar called Outer Space
I was raised half a mile from there, never heard of the place
It's a very old game and I'm very ashamed
The benefits are few
Oh my Loretta when you put on that leather
I'm cryin out
Oh my Loretta when you put on that leather
I'm cryin out
Oh my Loretta, what am I to do
Any change in weather makes me feel no better
I keep feelin blue
Even when the sun shines or dark clouds may be few
Oh my Loretta when you put on that leather
I'm cryin out
But pay no mind, Everything is fine, No no pay me no mind
Have a good time, I'll be just fine home here all alone
What else can I do, this table for two is table for one
I'm cryin out, I'm cryin
