Tell me how a girl like you
I thought I knew could do me harm
You acted warm but you were cold
When you would hold me in your arms
And tell me why you knocked me down
And hung around for a laugh or two
I never tried to hurt you dear
I held you near, and you sent me
Back to my home, on my own
They say the things that are too good to be true
Really do get you down in the end
And a friend today leaves you hanging tomorrow
I never saw repeated lies
Through dark brown eyes and smiles you faked
I never took the time to think
I took your drink, I took your bait
And people warned me of your kind
I used to find it hard to believe
But then you proved me right
That dark fine night when you sent me
Back to my home etc.
I guess there's nothing else to do
But start anew and break from you
I don't know what was wrong with me
How I could see a thing in you
And if some day you change your mind
And somehow find you want me back
You'll realize just what you've done
You've had your fun, and now you'll be
Back in your home, on your own
Etc.

Scaffold Wall

Blizzard’s been over and the raindrops fall
Hitting the sidewalk from the scaffold wall
Hitting the sidewalk from the scaffold wall
They used to be snowflakes, now you can’t tell that at all
Fine tailored suit and a briefcase too
When he gets on the floor, you know he’s got a lot to do
He gets on the floor, he’s got a lot to do
He used to be a dreamer, now he’s 32
Old man staring with his crazy eye
And he sings to all the ladies as they slowly pass him by
Sings to the ladies when they pass him by
He used to be a ladies man, now he makes the ladies cry
Our eyes collide up on 14th Street
We say hello and then we’re back on our feet
We say hello, then we’re back on our feet
We used to be lovers, now it hurts when we meet
