[Verse 1]
I got good news, Sadie
I got bad news too
I got a loose heart, baby
And I got things that I shouldn’t start

[Chorus]
The one I tell first
Shouldn’t make the others worse
That’s the story of me loving you

[Verse 2]
I got things I should say, Sadie
Words of weary sadness too
I got lost along the way, baby
And I can’t get back to me being new

[Chorus]
The one I tell first
Shouldn’t make the others worse
That’s the story of me loving you

[Bridge]
And if you find never me mind
Read the news line by line
Gone for reasons that make leaving
Not easy to define

[Verse 3]
I got a new girl, Sadie
Sometimes she looks like you
I can’t seem to call her baby
Cause calling her that won’t make it true

[Chorus]
The one I tell first
Shouldn’t make the others worse
That’s the story of me loving you

[Bridge]
And if you find never me mind
Read the news line by line
Gone for reasons that make leaving
Not easy to define

[Chorus]
The one I tell first
Shouldn’t make the others worse
That’s the story of me loving you
