You said what we did from the start was no good

And you tried to stop everything that you could

Now, you're like a meadow that needs rainin' on

You're lookin' for tears but your tears have all gone

You're livin' with one man and wantin' one more

You made up your mind when your heart wasn't sure

Now, you're like a meadow that can't grow no corn

You told me to leave, but you cry 'cause I've gone

There were two ways and I had to choose

You knew all along if I won you would lose

You're like a meadow that needs rainin' on

You're lookin' for tears but your tears have all gone

You climb up your staircase and count every step

But you know you're tryin' so hard to forget

You look in the mirror and comb your fair hair

You look at his picture and see my face there

There were two ways and I had to choose

You knew all along if I won you would lose

You're like a meadow that can't grow no corn

You told me to leave, but you cry 'cause I've gone

Yes, you're like a meadow that needs rainin' on

You're lookin' for tears but your tears have all gone
