I stayed too long,
and then I stayed longer.
I guess I was wrong,
and then I was wronger.
She broke my heart,
and then she broke it again.
I knew it was over,
over and over again.

I stayed too long,
And then I stayed longer.
I tried to be strong.
I should have been stronger.
She played me like
an old blues guitar.
That same old song
over and over again.

I could have
gone to Nashville,
but I stayed
in the neighborhood.
I could have gone to
New York or LA.
I could have gone with
Susie or Peggy or Elaine.
I could have done so much,
I didn’t have to stay.

I stayed too long
and then I stayed longer.
I guess I was wrong,
and then I was wronger.
She broke my heart,
and then she broke it again.
I knew it was over,
over and over again.

I stayed too long,
and then I stayed longer.
I tried to be strong.
I should have been stronger.
She played me like
an old blues guitar.
That same old song,
over and over again.

I could have
gone on to better,
but I was good
with what I had.
I could have gone crazy,
but I was just sad.
I could have gone with
Susie or Peggy or Elaine.
But I stayed with her
and took all her pain.

I’ve been here before,
in front of the same sad door,
that I just can’t walk through.
Deja vu, I’m still loving you,
over and over again.
Deja vu, I said we’re through,
when will this
one last dance end?

I could have<br gone to Nashville,
but I stayed in
the neighborhood.
I could have gone to
New York or LA.
I could have gone with
Susie or Peggy or Elaine.
I could have done so much,
I didn’t have to stay.

I stayed too long.
And then I stayed longer.
I guess I was wrong.
And then I was wronger.
She broke my heart,
and then she broke it again.
I knew it was over,
over and over again.
