Don't tell me hard luck stories
|
And I won't tell you mine
|
Don't tell me hard luck stories
|
And I won't tell you mine.
|
|
Every time you're feelin' fine
|
Got another good one on the line
|
It slips away,
|
You feel it slip away, slip away.
|
|
I don't want no more from you
|
Won't do what you want me to
|
Turn me loose
|
Come on turn me loose,
|
turn me loose.
|
|
Every time I'm feelin' good
|
The phone rings
|
and I knock on wood
|
Hoping that it won't be you
|
Calling like you always do.
|
|
All you ever seem to say is
|
How much bad luck came your way
|
You won't try to start again
|
You just count
|
on your old friends.
|
|
Don't tell me hard luck stories
|
And I won't tell you mine
|
Don't tell me hard luck stories
|
And I won't tell you mine.
|
|
Now you call up every day
|
Got no money no place to stay
|
That girl made a mess of you
|
You got what was comin' too.
|
|
Build her up and let her down
|
Tastin' everythin' in town
|
Treat her right, you never
|
Treat her right, treat her right.
|
|
Now she's gone and you're alone
|
Bite your fingers to the bone
|
Slip away,
|
You feel it slip away, slip away.
|
|
You don't know what's goin' on
|
How you lost it, what went wrong
|
What ever happened to
|
The love that you once knew.
|
|
Don't tell me hard luck stories
|
And I won't tell you mine
|
Don't tell me hard luck stories
|
And I won't tell you mine.
