You had style, you had class

you had everything to make a love last

you had grace, you had charm

you had me hanging on your arm

when I found out you were a fake

you rared up and bit me like a snake

and I was ready to let go

and let all my feelings show.

Chorus:

Tell me why you wanna be so cold

why you wanna be so mean

you've gone and let your true colors show

you're a perpetual blues machine.

We could've been just fine

if you'd have only been all mine

cause I was for real, but you did not know

that you were steppin' on my heart

as you were walking out the door.

But now I know who you are

and it's a damn good thing we didn't get too far

'cause I'm not the one who's right for you.

You need a man to do your rolling

like you want him to do.

Chorus

Now you've gone, and I'm glad

that we didn't let it get too bad

you know I tried to make it go

but there was just no way to tell you so.
