[Verse 1]
My baby she walked out this morning
She told me she had to be free
And the choice is all hers
For I know she deserves somebody better than me

[Verse 2]
Now somehow I knew this would happen
'Cause lately we just can't agree
But it sure cut me down
When she said she found somebody better than me

[Verse 3]
Oh, I said, "I still love you and I'll do anything
If you just won't tell me goodbye"
She looked up at me
And she said, "Here's your ring"
Then I saw the tears in her eyes

[Verse 4]
She said, "I'm so sorry it's over
But you drove me out don't you see"
Well I may lose my mind
But I hope she finds somebody better than me
Aww buddy
She said, "I'm so sorry it's over
But you drove me out don't you see"
Well I may lose my mind
But I hope she finds somebody better than me
