[Verse 1]

She called a friend of mine to tell him she was leaving

She said she might be back in six or seven months

So I ran straight to her house and I kicked down her front door

And I smashed the TV set on her dirty kitchen floor

What could I do?

After she hurt me, hurt me, hurt me

How should I act?

Should I pretend I was not dying?

Should I have wished her good luck?

Tell her to write me, write me, write me

How could she do this to me?

Didn't she know how much I love her?


[Chorus]

Audience

I don't know how much longer I can sing this song

'Cause it's breaking my heart to go on and on

It's a real two-hankie tear jerk-off

Audience, a real two-hankie

Audience, a real two-hankie

Audience, a real two-hankie tear jerk-off

And she's so far away, uh uh

She's so far away, uh uh


[Verse 2]

She t-t-told me days ago that she would always love me

She cried when we made love, I licked away her tears

Then she flew into the sunshine where the boys are blonde and tan

And she left me in this coldness with my broken-hearted hand


[Bridge]

Ooh, I'm so sad

Ooh, I'm so sad

Ooh, I'm so sad


[Chorus]

Audience, a real two-hankie

Audience, a real two-hankie

Audience, a real two-hankie tear jerk-off

And she's so far away, oh god, she's so far away


[Chorus]

Audience

I don't know how much longer I can sing this song (Audience)

'Cause it's breaking my heart to go on and on (Audience)

It's a real two-hankie tear jerk-off

Audience, a real two-hankie

Audience, a real two-hankie

Audience, a real two-hankie tear jerk-off


[Outro]

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

She left me sad and broke my heart

My tears came fast, my mouth would drown

But here is now the saddest part

Her lover looks like Jerry Brown

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off

Audience, a real tear jerk-off
