MORE THAN ME
(Don Bowman / Tommy South)


Don Bowman - 1965



(When you left last night, you left more than me)

I got up this mornin' and as I's leavin' my room
I stepped on twelve hair rollers and tripped over the broom
I tried to shave and sorta look my best
But you turned the mirror all yeller with that bloody hairspray test

Boy, you must have been in hurry when you left last night
'Cause the house is just full o' junk you left behind
There's make-up creams and danderuff shampoos
And a couple of false eyelashes and a couple of other things, too

(When you left last night, you left more than me)

I figured I'd clean up the place, you know, 'fore I left for the day
Figured I'd burn all your stuff since you'd gone away
I don't know whether you know it or not
But them dang hairspray cans blow up when they get hot

Boy, it's wierd, them cans blew make-up all over the walls
And there's big red streaks of nail polish clear out there in the hall
'Member that glass door on the oven that you could see through
Well the frigerator door matches now 'cause you can see through it too

(When you left last night, you left more than me)

That there doctor that operated says what I need most is rest
He removed a couple of tubes of raspberry lipstick from my chest
He told me just stand around for the next couple of days
See this, this can of spot remover caught me goin' the other way

They released me from the hospital and now I'm back home
But it's a pretty lonely place, you know, you bein' gone
But I'll never forget you 'cause when them cans went off
They blew mem'ries of you just all over the walls

(When you left last night, you left more than me)
