Lyrics

I saw you downtown
And you gave me the eye
I saw you
And I wanted to cry
Cause I know I've seen you somewhere before
We had a life but it is nevermore
Now I'm alone in my room
And I'm waiting to die
Well I had this heart
It was made out of glass
I gave it to you
And you said "this won't last"
Then you threw it out to the dogs in the street
Who crushed it under their dirty hard feet
Picked up the pieces and threw them all out with the trash
This time I'm looking for
Something I ain't had before
Somebody who will take up my time
Somebody who won't mess with my mind
Bye bye leave me alone
Don't bother calling I'll never be home
With boys like you I'm better off on my own
Well I've got this heart
And it's made out of wax
And I stuffed it full
Of old nails and tacks
Then I put it into a red flannel sack
Stuffed it under my bed at the back
I dripped the wax on the face of your photograph
This time I'm looking for
Something I ain't had before
Somebody who will take up my time
Somebody who is clever and kind
Bye bye leave me alone
Don't bother calling I'll never be home
With boys like you I'm better off on my own
Yeah, with boys like you I'm better off on my own
