I told her to leave me alone
That's what she's done, just what she's done
And a house built for two ain't a home
When it's lived in by one, one lonely one

And I can no longer hear footsteps
>From right down the hall
Here come the teardrops
Bitter they are, harder they fall

She caught me lying
Then she caught a train
And I caught a fever
Walking home in the rain

But it's over and I'm done
She left me once and for all
Here come the teardrops
Bitter they are, harder they fall

Here come the teardrops
Bitter they are, harder they fall
