Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What you gonna do, Katie?
Your a sweet, sweet girl
But it's a cruel, cruel world
Cruel, cruel world
But things are not too strong, Katie
Hurry up Mrs. Brown
I can feel it coming down
And it wont take none too long
[Verse 2]
Since you said good bye
Polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why
[Verse 3]
What you gonna do, Katie?
Your a sweet, sweet girl
But it's a cruel, cruel world
A cruel, cruel world
Safety pins are not too strong, Katie
They hold my life together
And I never say never
I never say never again
[Verse 4]
But since you said good bye
The polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why
[Verse 5]
But since you said good bye
The polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why
[Verse 6]
But since you said good bye
The polka dots fill the skies
And I don't know why
