[Verse 1]
Babe, you say you love me and you say you care
But something's going on that I know ain’t fair
Things just ain't right when we're turtledoving
I think you’re giving me leftover loving
I just can't believe everything you said
You call me Pete but my name's Ed
Your lying ways ain't getting you nothing
You're giving me leftover loving

[Chorus]
You kiss me like a sister, don't hold me tight
Get away with all you can
While I'm working hard, trying to do you right
You're painting the town with another man
I’m tired of playing second fiddle, tired of all your ways
If you don’t change, I'll tire of you someday
You better be good or I’ll be shoving
You're giving me leftover loving

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I like my taters when they're good and hot
When I make love, I give it all I've got
Your secondhand kisses seem a little old
Your leftover loving is a-leaving me cold
You come home late and your lipstick’s smeared
When I'm starting to fuss, your eyes fill with tears
I'm leaving soon and I ain't bluffing
You're giving me leftover loving
