Pretty Girl From Michigan

(album: The Carpenter - 2012)

Can you not see
What you've done
You gave your heart away like that I didn't want to fall
In love
With anyone but you did

I can still hear
The song
The melody behind the kiss you gave me
You were wrong
I was right so I walked away

And left you there
Alone
I got so tired of talking on the telephone
How many times would we say the words "Goodbye"?

I made mistakes
And one
Was telling you that I'd be there when telling-time had come
I should've said I didn't care

Oh the time I would have saved
If I had been less willing to accommodate
You'd been a little less likely to cry

You go back to the high life
And I'll go back to the low
I should've known
But now I know

There'll be no words
From you
Describing how it felt to go through what I put you through
It all makes perfect sense

The way you cut
The rope
That kept you dangling from such pitiful amounts of hope
I would have cut it too
