Destitute and empty
Can't stop, thinking of you
You’ve turned my blue skies all cloudy grey

Oh I loved you but lost you
You were so untrue
Yes I loved you but lost you

Why didn't I listen to you mama

Emotionally you broke me when you went away
Condemning me to loneliness like only a woman could
Contemplating suicide
My mamma said you'd be untrue

Oh I loved but lost you
You were so untrue
Yes I loved you but lost you

Why didn't I listen to you mama
