Lyrics:

Shes not the one I would choose if I was 17
At least if I had one more chance to
please find a way to let me go my way
and you can do the same if theres still time.

The door to the bedroom doesnt close as tight
As youve made your heart to keep me out
And why would I risk another honeymoon
Considering the first one didnt take

I know youll leave me by myself
I know youll leave me by myself

Oh well attend to me when I grow old
Youll be raising someone elses kids
And I dont suppose youd think about a trade
The years that we both wasted for your health

I know youll leave me by myself
I know youll leave me by myself.

If you sign the papers when Im not around
Try for now to use your maiden name
And dont find someone who treats you like I did
You deserve a better man than me

I know youll leave me by myself
I know youll leave me by myself
