I had me 'bout five dime-a-dozens
It felt like my hand to play - but it was hard to maintain
And then she arrived all of a sudden
As fine as a prime fillet - so I wondered her way, and she said:
Don't waste my time, I'm saving mine
for somebody nice who'll stay home
To my surprise she wasn't bluffing
This girl had a time and date for our wedding day
I said girl I was lost before I found you
But I've got the will change - just at my own pace
So if at times I go out searching
Just help me find my way home
As you may guess I ruined a good thing
And found out the price to pay - was watching her fade away
With tears in her eyes she left with nothing
But she wrote me a note that said: If you find love again...
Don't waste her time so she can find
Somebody nice who'll stay at home
