[Verse 1]

I saw you downtown

And you gave me the eye

I saw you

And i wanted to cry

Cause' I know I've seen you somewhere before

We had a life but it is never more

Now I'm alone in my room and I'm waiting to die


[Verse 2]

Well I had this heart

It was made out of glass

I gave it to you

And you said "his won't last"

Then you threw it out to the dogs in the street

They crushed it under their dirty hind feet

Picked up the pieces and threw them all out in the trash


[Pre-Chorus]

This time I'm lookin' for

Something I ain't had before

Somebody who will take up my time

Somebody who won't mess with my mind

Bye bye leave me alone

Don't bother calling I'll never be home

With boys like you I'm better off on my own


[Verse 3]

Well I've got this heart

And it's made out of wax

And I stuffed it full

Of old nails and tacks

Then I put it into a red flannel sack

Stuffed it under my bed at the back

I dripped the wax on the face of your photograph


[Pre-Chorus]

This time I'm lookin' for

Something I ain't had before

Somebody who will take up my time

Somebody who is clever and kind


[Chorus/Outro]

Bye bye leave me alone

Don't bother calling I'll never be home

With boys like you I'm better off on my own

Yeah with boys like you I'm better off on my own
