(Larry Gatlin)



I told her to leave me alone, that's what she's done, just what she's done

And a house built for two ain't a home when it's lived in by one, one lonely one

And I can no longer hear footsteps from right down the hall

Here come the teardrops, bitter they are harder they fall.



She caught me lying then she caught a train

And I caught a fever walking home in the rain

But it's over and I'm done, she's left me once and for all

Here come the teardrops, bitter they are harder they fall.

(Here come the teardrops,) bitter they are harder they fall.



I told her to leave me alone, that's what she's done, just what she's done
