| My sweet child was seen across town
|
| With some stranger man
|
| She had a smile on her face
|
| Looked out of place
|
| Suitcase was in her hand
|
| Junior saw it happen
|
| Why didn’t I listen to you, hey
|
| Whoa, ohh
|
| Whoa,
|
| Whoa, ohh
|
| Whoa, now she’s down the tracks with him
|
| I remember on the day she left me That’s one thing I’ll never forget
|
| In the apartment we owned
|
| All she left was a phone
|
| And a broken down TV set
|
| Junior saw it happen
|
| Why didn’t I listen to you, hey
|
| Whoa, ohh
|
| Whoa,
|
| Whoa, na na na na na Whoa, now she’s down the tracks with him
|
| Didn’t believe it when I first got word
|
| But boy, I sure do now
|
| I couldn’t face it, my mind wouldn’t take it |
