  • You know it's hard to be in love with someone.
    It's hard to be in love with someone that don't love you.
    And it carries a heavy burden on your heard to know that there's
    Something they love is your very best friend.
    I tell ya, when somebody else is rocking your cradle better.
    Thank you can rock your cradle yourself.
    There's only one thing left in this world for you to do.
    Pack your clothes, turn around, walk slowly out the door.
    Look over your left shoulder, hang your head and say.
    If you ever think about me.
    If I ever cross your mind.
    Girl, girl, if you ever think about me.
    Pretty baby, if I ever cross your mind.
    Whoa, yeah, well you know, you know.
    I'm yours, I know, I know you're mine.
    After you can't stand it no more.
    You go on down town to the pawn shop and get yourself a pistol.
    And then you make it back up on the scene.
    Where your love on and your best friend are now together.
    You go right in and bust down the door and shoot him.
    You can't shoot her because you know if you shoot her
    All of your love and your long lifetime will be gone forever.
    And just as you make it in your mind to forgive her.
    Here comes another one of your best friends through the door.
    This really makes you blow your top and you go right ahead and go on purpose to your heart
    And shoot her.
    And realizing what you just did.
    You say, "Baby please forgive me, I'm sorry."
    And with her last dying breath.
    She looks up at you and says.
    "Doodoodoo. Woaoo. Doodoodoo. Wohaoo." Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
