about
As anyone who’s known me over the years can attest to, I have extremely high standards when it comes to the women who will eventually break my heart. I like to poke a little fun at myself on occasion and this song celebrates my discerning eye and discriminating taste in the gentler sex.
lyrics
Leave Me Lonely
I’ve aimed high, I’ve aimed low
Close my eyes, baby I don’t know
Aint no science, aint no rules
If they think I’m nice, then I think they’re cool
Before you turned my world upside down
I was content baby justa being a clown
No more, no more
Might be petite or long and tall
Talk too much or not at all
Middle age or still in school
If they think I’m fine, everything is cool
Before you turned my world upside down
I was content baby just being a clown
No more, no more
You just had to have your way
Just to drive this boy insane
And you know in the end you’re just going to leave me lonely
Night be rich, might be poor
Might be the girl at the candy store
Out on the street or finishing school
If they think I’m nice everything is cool
Before you turned my world upside down
I was content baby just being a clown
No more, no more
You just had to have your way
Just to drive this boy insane
And you know in the end you’re just going to leave me lonely
I’ve aimed high, I’ve aimed low
Close my eyes, baby I don’t know
Aint no good loving you
You know I’d do anything you ask me to
Before you turned my world upside down
I was content baby just being a clown
No more, no more
You just had to have your way
Just to drive this boy insane
And you know in the end you’re just going to leave me lonely
You just had to have your fun
Just to see me come undone
And you know in the end you’re just going to leave me lonely
