Mom, did you really mean all that I mean after ten years You're gonna put the man on me And make me take care of you and some other dude Well I guess I really didn't mean all of it Its just that I let my pride run away with me for a few minutes I'm sorry But you see It was so easy for you to say goodbye I know you now realize that it was a mistake But you took my heart At least let me keep some pride for myself Cause even now I would consider taking you back But darling its the way you left You just walked away
Without a word to say It was easy You just packed your clothes Didn't let me know That you were leaving Oh you got your hat Coat thrown across your back And just walked right on out the door Oh but now you began to realize That I'm not yours anymore Now you find yourself trying to trace your track Hey, hey, hey baby Ooh lord It was easy leaving me baby So hard coming back
You played around With all the girls in town like It was nothing to it All the time I played dumb and blind Oh darling you can bet I knew it Yes I did You broke my heart Tore it all apart And just laughed and went on your way Oh but little did you realize You'd want me back someday
Now you find yourself Trying to trace your track Yeah, yeah, yeah baby It was easy leaving me baby So hard coming back Yeah, yeah, yeah lord It was so easy leaving me baby I can't let you come back now No, no, no, no baby I'm sorry I just can't do it to myself
