Lyrics:

I told her to leave me alone

That's what she's done, just what she's done

And a house built for two, ain't a home

When it's lived in by one, one lonely one

And I can no longer hear footsteps come right down the hall

Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall

She caught me lying, then she caught a train

And I caught a fever walking home in the rain

Oh yeah!

But it's over and I’m done

She left me once and for all

Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall

Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
