Since my baby left me
I'm doing pretty well
I've lost a few pounds
As you can probably tell
And since she loves another
It's not as bad as you might think
I'm resting on my laurels
But it's got me time to think
Because I'm busy doing nothing
Working the day through
Trying hide to find
Lots of thing not to do

And my life was cold before
And my life will be warm once more

And since my honey moved
To the south side of town
Been hearing ugly rumours
She's been putting it around

Because I'm busy doing nothing
Working the day through
Trying hide to find
Lots of thing not to do

Because my life was cold before
And my life will be warm once more
And the nights are long and so sore
And the nights will be short once more
