Rejected

(album: The Outback Club - 1992)

Two, three, four

She said "I'm very sorry Lee" as she sees me to her gate
"But I love somebody else" she told me flat
Well I try to keep my chin up but I'm going down in flames
So I just say goodbye and tip my hat

Yeah, I'm standing at her gate, I've been rejected
I must be the biggest fool in town
My affections badly misdirected
I'm standing at her gate, I've been rejected

The words of her denial stuck like damper in my throat
Wish I could disappear into a crack
So I stiffly walk away to resurrect my wounded pride
It hits you hard when you cop the big knockback

Yeah, I'm standing at her gate, I've been rejected
Well, I must be the biggest fool in town
My affections sadly misdirected
I'm standing at her gate, I've been rejected

Yeah, I'm standing at her gate, your case rejected
