Take away, take awayTake away this ball and chainI'm lonely and I'm tiredAnd I can't take any more painTake away, take awayNever to return againTake away, take awayTake away this ball and chain
You told me you love me Why did you leave me all alone Now you tell me you need me When you call me on the phone Girl, I refuse You must have me confused with some other guy The bridges were burned Now it's your turn, to cry
Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river
I wanna live, I wanna give I've been a miner for a heart of gold It's these expressions I never give That keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a Heart of gold And I'm getting old
Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
