lyrics

Don't wear your best dress, darling
The one in the white
All cause he said, darling
It looked good that one time

Don't count the hours
til he comes back home
Don't waste that time wondering
Where the hell you went wrong

Chorus
Can I be honest? Can I be frank?
He isn't dragging your heart along
He just don't give a damn

Don't forget a raincoat, darling
don't stand there all wet
All for a kiss in the cold
that you'll never get

Craving all his love
eats away at your soul
It's not that he's hostile, honey
He just doesn't care enough to know

Chorus
Can I say something? Can I say it like it is?
He was never playing your games, darling
There was never anything to win

Chorus
Can I be honest? Can I be frank?
He isn't dragging your heart along
He just don't give a damn

Chorus
Can I say something? Can I say it like it is?
He was never playing your games, darling
There was never anything to win

He was never playing your games, darling
There was never anything to win

old-time feel, while her lyrics are both charismatic and endearing. ... more
