| You say you’re clearing out, the devil’s in your eyes
 | 
| No time to walk, no time to talk, no time for long goodbyes
 | 
| The ticket’s in your hand, you’ve made that final call
 | 
| The hard words flying by like punches in a barroom brawl
 | 
| We’ve made a mess of things
 | 
| It makes no difference now let’s chalk it all up to the blues
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Before you break in your walking shoes
 | 
| I am just what I am, I won’t apologize
 | 
| So if you go you’ll surely know you’ll have to come to realize
 | 
| Love don’t walk away, only people do
 | 
| So if you go or if you stay you know I’ll keep on loving you
 | 
| We’ve made a mess of things
 | 
| It makes no difference now let’s chalk it all up to the blues
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Before you break in your walking shoes
 | 
| We’ve made the hard time sing, we’ve made the miles roll by
 | 
| We’ve broken both our wings and still we’ve had the will to fly
 | 
| It ain’t the memories, that make me talk this way
 | 
| It’s more like someone pulled the plug before we ever saw the play
 | 
| We’ve made a mess of things
 | 
| It makes no difference now let’s chalk it all up to the blues
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Before you break in your walking shoes
 | 
| I’ve read a thousand books, I’ve been behind the wheel
 | 
| I’ve known you all my life but still I can’t feel how you feel
 | 
| It’s only you for me, just like that whooping crane
 | 
| Who has one wife for all his life and if she dies, he’ll do the same
 | 
| We’ve made a mess of things
 | 
| It makes no difference now let’s chalk it all up to the blues
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Little girl, think it over one time
 | 
| Before you break in your walking shoes |
