Song Lyrics

Well, I don't know, but I've been told and
Seen what you've left behind
And I don't know if I like what I see
When it's knocking at my door

[Chorus:]
And you don't know if you're laughing or crying
And I don't know if I care
'Cause I know right here
I've got me something that you never had
You might laugh, but what are you looking at?
Sending your own valentines to the one you never had

Well, I don't know, but I've been told and
Seen what you've left behind
And all those ladies you left standing on the corner
They're laughing at you now

(You never had, you never had)
So you drink all night and you sleep all day
'Cause you see what you've left behind
And standing on the corner - hey lady, got a quarter?
She's passing you by

[Chorus]

Lloyd Cole
