[Verse 1]
You said what we did from the start was no good
And you tried to stop everything that you could
Now, you're like a meadow that needs rainin' on
You told me to leave, now you're cryin' 'cause I've gone

[Verse 2]
You're livin' with one man and wantin' one more
You made up your mind but your heart wasn't sure
Now, you're like a meadow that can't grow no corn
You're lookin' for tears but your tears have all gone

[Chorus]
There were two ways that I had to choose
You knew all along if I won you would lose
You're like a meadow that needs rainin' on
You told me to leave, now you're cryin' cause I've gone

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 3]
You climb up your staircase and count every step
But you know you're tryin' so hard to forget
You look in the mirror and comb your fair hair
You look at his picture and see my face there
[Chorus]
 There were two ways that I had to choose
You knew all along if I won you would lose
You're like a meadow that needs rainin' on
You told me to leave, now you're cryin' cause I've gone

[Outro]
You told me to leave, now you're cryin' cause I've gone
You told me to leave, now you're cryin' cause I've gone
