Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I sat there looking ugly, looking ugly and mean
Knew what you were saying, you were saying to me
Baby's got some new rules
Baby said she's had it with me
[Verse 2]
It seems a shame to waste your time on me
It seems a lot to waste your time for me
Left me to love
What it's doing to me
[Verse 3]
There's a lot of honey in this world
Baby, this honey's for me
Got to do what you do
Do it with me
[Verse 4]
It seems a shame to waste your time for me
Left me to love
What it's doing to me
[Verse 5]
Knocked silly, knocked flat, sideways down
These things they pick you up, turn you around
Say your peace
Say you're sweet for me
[Verse 6]
It's all the same to share the pain with me
It's all the same to save the shame for me
Left me to love
What it's doing to me
[Verse 7]
Baby's got some new rules
Baby says she's had it with me
There's a fly in the honey
Baby's got a baby with me
That's a part, that's a part of me
[Verse 8]
Left me to love
What it's doing to me
Left me to love
What it's doing to me
[Verse 9]
What about me?
What about me?
