Angry Words Were Spoken  
                                 C7 
And I Left My Baby In A Cloud Of Gloom

Bitter Is My Feeling For My Baby

And The Things She Said So Cruel 
 
Half Of Me Says Cheat On Her 
                                    F 
But Part Of Me Says Stop Don't Be A Fool 
 
Don't Let Me Get Close To You

'Cause If I Do I Won't Be Very Strong
