Red Rubber Ball Nellie McKay

I should have known
You'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this
And I learned it very well

Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The morning sun is shining
Like a red rubber ball

You never care
For secrets I confide
For you, I'm just an ornament
Something for your pride

Always running, never caring
That's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time
Were all you had to give

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The morning sun is shining
Like a red rubber ball
