My girlfriend saw my husband
They’re coming across town to get me
He’s been gone for five years or more
And he expects me to be waiting…
Oh Lord help me buy a train ticket
Tell me what have I got to sell?
Oh, a pink satin dress
And a silver tray
And an abalone shell…
Running out the back door
Trying to get away
I’m almost past the river
He’ll never catch me now
Oh say it all, say it all
It’s so sad for you
Sad baby doll…
Oh… well I watch you walk away
And I, I still hear you saying…
“Let the phone ring off the wall…”
I could ask you to come back
It wouldn’t matter at all…
I could scream out
That I am right
You could refuse my call
And I could cry in the middle of the night
Cry in the middle of the night
Cry in the middle of the night -
It wouldn’t matter at all…
Yeah…
Out the back door
Trying to get away
I’m almost to the river
He’ll never catch me now
Ooh he says, “Lay it all, say it all…
So sad for you
Sad baby doll…”
Oh and I watch you walk away
And I, I hear you say…
But the phone rings off the wall
Oh, yeah…
Wouldn’t matter at all
I could call you up
Wouldn’t matter at all
I could cry… cry…
I could cry in the middle of the night
Oh! doesn’t matter at all
It wouldn’t matter at all
They say it doesn’t matter at all
It doesn’t matter at all
In the middle of the night
(What did you want?)
I could ask you to come back…
Oh no, that wouldn’t be right
(What did you want?)
I could scream out that you are wrong…
You refuse to fight me
I could cry in the middle of the night
Cry in the middle of the night
Cry in the middle of the night
Wouldn’t matter at all…
