My girlfriend saw my husband
They're coming across town to get me
He's been gone for five years or more
And he expects me to be waiting...
Oh Lord, help me buy a train ticket
Tell me what have I got to sell?
Oh, a pink satin dress...
And a silver tray
An abalone shell...
Runnin' out the back door
Trying to get away...
Almost past the river
He'll never catch me now
Oh, say it all
Say it all
So sad for you
Sad baby doll
Oh, well I watch you walk away
And I still hear you sayin'...
But the phone rings off the wall
I could ask you to come back
It wouldnt matter at all
I could scream out
That I am right
You could refuse my call
And I could cry in the middle of the night
Cry in the middle of the night
Cry in the middle of the night...
It wouldn't matter at all
Out the back door
Tryin' to get away
I'm almost to the river
You'll never catch me now
Oh he says, lay it all
Say it all
So sad for you, sad baby doll
Oh, and I watch you walk away
And I hear you say
But the phone rings off the wall
Oh, yeah
Wouldn't matter at all
I could call you up
Wouldn't matter at all
I could cry
Cry...
I could cry in the middle of the night
Oh, doesn't matter at all
It wouldn't matter at all
They say it doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
At all...
Cry in the middle of the night
I could ask you to come back...
Oh no,
That wouldn't be right
I could scream out that you are wrong
You refuse to fight me
I could cry in the middle of the night
Cry in the middle of the night
Cry in the middle of the night
Wouldn't matter at all...
