Last December I met a girl
She took a liking to me
said she loved me
but she didn't know the meaning of the word
She imagined love to be grand
me holding her hand and
whispering sweet things
and cooing softly like a songbird
Then one morning she came to me
with a tear in her eye
and a sigh on her breath and Lord
she said "Hon I'm heavy with a child"
And I said "God damn girl can't you see
that I'm breaking my back
just trying to keep my head above water
and it's turning me wild"
Cinderella can't you see
don't want your company
You better leave this morning leave today
take your love and your child away
No no-no no noo no-no no
No no-no no noo no-no no
No no-no no noo no-no no
No no-no no noo no-no no
No no-no no noo no-no no
No no-no no nooo
Woah woah no
Woah woah no
Woah woah no
Woah woah Woah woah woah no
Rocking a chair on my front porch
Well I'm thinking about all the
thingsthat I did as a young man
now that I'm old
And I remember her and the boy
Did he have all the toys and the joys
that a young man should have
before he gets too old
Cinderella couldn't you see
I didn't want your company
You shoulda left that morning left that day
took your love and your child
awa-a-a-ay
