Lord, I better get it together so maybe the next one will stay
There’s no way in heaven that a man can live this way,

I got this funny feeling whenever I remember that day
Everybody tells me that come what may
Time to forget that funny feeling
Time to see through that haze!

You know I’ve got to get my act together
Can’t let depression get in the way
That’s no matter what you say
Come Sunday you’ll find this fool out by the bay

Lord, I better get it together so maybe the next one will stay
“Don’t come back here,” that’s what she would say

My heart froze and shattered on that very day
Now there’s not a place on this earth I want to stay
Not even for a roll in the hay!
They all want to leave me so they can have their way

Don’t stay don’t stay Baby keep driving away
Because just maybe Baby this dog just might have his day
Go ahead Angel just go and run away,

Lord, I better get it together so maybe the next one will stay
There’s no way in heaven that a man can live this way
,
When I get that funny feeling I feel just like a Blue Jay
No attachments to this world no reason to stay
I wish there was an answer every time that I pray
Afraid I’ve run out of bullets to keep the wolves at bay,

Don’t try to blame me or rationalize your way
You’d planned to leave me long before that day
Congratulations Baby you finally got your way
Everything we shared together transformed into decay,

Lord, I better get it together so maybe the next one will stay
There’s no way in heaven that a man can live this way.
