[Verse 1]

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 told me to leave, now you're cryin' 'cause I've gone

[Verse 2]

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

There were two ways that I had to choose

You knew all along if I won you would lose

You're like a meadow that needs rainin' on

You told me to leave, now you're cryin' cause I've gone

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

 There were two ways that I had to choose

You knew all along if I won you would lose

You're like a meadow that needs rainin' on

You told me to leave, now you're cryin' cause I've gone

[Outro]

You told me to leave, now you're cryin' cause I've gone

You told me to leave, now you're cryin' cause I've gone
