I'll write you a letter and send it your way
And in that letter, I'll ask you to stay
And ask you, my darling, "Baby! Why did you leave?"
But I know, my darling, you left cos' of me
I'm sorry, so sorry, yeah, you know how I am
But do you still love me more than your new man?
You don't have to answer if the answer's not yes
Cos' I just can't handle the truth unless
You're taking me back again
And tellin' me, "Boy,"
That, "I really love you,
And I miss Illinois!"
I'm sittin' alone now and drinkin' my Gin
I'm bobbin' my head now and sinkin' in
I'm shitty and smelly with holes in my clothes
And when I'm not drinkin', I'm filling my nose
My chances are gone now of you ever comin' back
You need me my love, now, like a heart attack
I'm no good for no one. I can barely get by
And now, I'm so lonely I think I could die
I kicked down the chair, but the rope wasn't tied
Suicide's just like anything and I can't do it right
Put my head in the stove, but the bill didn't get paid
So I just fell asleep woke up with lines on my face
Think I'll go down to Vegas for the fear that I loathe
Oh Wait!
I don't even have a car, so
I guess
i'll just
Try my luck
On the boat
