Well I feel just like an acord on an old flat top guitar

I've been used till I can't stand it anymore

You've been tended out of here so much to find you someone new

That you're wearin' out the hinges on the door

When I met you I'd have turned around and walked the other way

If I'd known how many heartaches were in store

Seems like all I do is hang around and watch you come and go

While you're wearin' out the hinges on the door

Well I don't know why I take it but I do

Well I guess it's cause I'm so in love with you

Each time that you find someone new you turn and walk away

Then just like the tide you slip right back to shore

Oh my darling if you love me stick around and let me know

And stop wearin' out the hinges on the door

[ steel ]

Well I don't know why I take it...
