(poole/martin/poole)
After six months of living with him, she thinks
I gotta get myself an interest
Trying to get over what's gone before
But no-one told her you never get over
You just learn to live with it
She got no bow and arrow, army pants and pigtails
She ain't got to be no-one's dolly and at nobody's whim
She got her shoes, her blues
Her big red heart
She walks to the door and she says
(chorus)
¡°i'm going now, goodbye babe
I won't miss you
It was a long road, but it's a fine time
To get myself a little respect
(na na na na na na)
I'm going now, goodbye babe, i won't miss you¡±
He always thought that if she lost the plot
She couldn't get back up and find herself a new way
Ha! oh, what a hypocrite he turned out to be
And now he's watching 24-hour shopping tv
'coz she refused to lose, to bruise
Boo hoo, you fool, you misconstrued her
She walks to the door and she knows she'll never look back
Never look back, she says
(repeat chorus)
She didn't crumble and now he's feeling kinda sore
He was a fool to think he was her backbone
(repeat chorus to fade)
