You surely must be trying to break this heart of mine
I thought you knew I loved you and we'd share a love so fine
But later that night
Padlock on my door
Clothes out on the street
You don't want my love no more

And I cried
I cried
Oh, I cried (I cried) my heart out
Cried (I cried) my heart out
Later that night

You surely must be trying to break this heart of mine
I thought you knew I loved you and we'd share a love so fine
But later that night
(You threw a) padlock on my door
(You threw my) clothes out on the street
('Cause you) don't want my love no more

And I cried
I cried
Oh, I cried (I cried) my heart out
Cried (I cried) my heart out
Later that night
Don't go baby
Don't put me out on the street
You threw my best sharkskin suit out on the lawn
Right on top of some dog waste

I hold in my hand three letters
From the stages of your fine, fine, super-fine career

And my best white shirts
With the Mr. B collar laying all over the front lawn
Where's my cuff links?
Lemme back in dere. Dare? Ha!
