I can take goodbye right out of the blue
Handle the surprise if our love is through
So don't act like you don't know how this story ends
Just say the words you're holding in

Don't slowly show me nothings left inside
And don't drag it out and think you're being kind
And

Joe cussed as the light turned red,
And one thought ran through his head.
He should've been home by now.
And two blocks from where he sits,
Two young lovers call it quits.
Cause it ain't working out.
Well, Joe's gonna be late for supper.
And they're both wondering w

I almost always smile
Sometimes I almost always never want to cry
I rarely ever think about
What you put me through
Cause I'm almost always almost over you
I know the worst must be behind me
Cause I clearly do recall a time
When everything seemed to remind me <

I was Archie
He was Reggie
I guess that made her Veronica
The competition was gettin heavy
Fighting for her unrequited love
And sugar sugar I was so blind and wrong
You know that Archie should have seen this all along
You're my Betty baby
Strong and steady baby

Here they come
From all directions
North, south, east and west
With their natural good looks
And their mammas' blessin'
They come with twangs
And to be the best
Next thing you know
They're in a great big office
Smilin' at a big wig behind a big desk
Starin

She was born down in Thibodaux Lousian
The victim of a short attention span
She stayed in school just long enough to say that she could quit

She got a job working with her hands
Graveyard shifts down at the curing plant
She saved up her money, bought a Greyhound ticket then

Cause you broke my heart
That's as good a place to start
As any I can think of
Off the top

You cheated
And you lied
And that's reason why
Everyone hears what a catch you're not

But I won't call you names
This is all I'll say

I'll say she don't know n

We got caught out in the summer rain
So we went back to my house to change
We got there still soaked to the bone
Just to find no one was home
I said my sister won't care
Find you something dry to wear
I heard those wet clothes hit the floor
Then she came out of

Lucky ain't the captain of the football team
Lucy's not in contention for homecoming queen
Ain't no mistakin' them for Marilyn or James Dean
Lucky got a camero when he turned sixteen
He picks up Lucy every night,
she lives on Bailey Street yeah
Somehow they beat the syst

I'm not sure if this'll come out right
I've been playin it over and over in my mind
So just in case you want to know
Exactly how I feel well here it goes
Chorus:
I'm sure that my heart pounds
A little faster when you're near
And I'm positive that I would go crazy

How dare she change her mind
Break my heart, go and find
Someone to take my place, take her hand, walk away
Oh, what nerve
I'll show her
That'll do it that'll, serve her right
I'm gonna miss her every night
And if I love her for the rest of my life
That'll teach h

I've seen that look a million times before
It says she ain't no stranger to a closing door
And she can't hide what lies inside

She's got the kind of heart that breaks
Easy does it for goodness sake
One tear away from a big mistake
She's got the kind of heart that
