There you go and baby here am I

Oh, well you left me here so I could sit and cry

Will you apologize what have you done to me well

I guess it doesn't matter anymore

Do you remember, baby, last September

Well, you was so lazy, how you drove me crazy

But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

I've thrown away my nights

And wasted all my days over you

Well you'll go your way and I'll go mine

Now and forever till the end of time

I'll find somebody new, baby, we'll say we're through

And you won't matter anymore
