Well, I bought you, I thought ya want a Rocket 88
You say ya gotta be a speed 'em, now don't, make ya late
Then you left me, left me out in the cold
Then the last time I saw you, you were headin' back down the road
Well ya stepped on the starter, built up some steam
Ya said, "If I ever see ya baby, that'll be in my dreams"
Then ya left me here, left me out in the cold
Then the last time I saw ya, you were headin' back down the road
(I hear you)
Well, ya don't have ta tell me that I ain't no fool
Ya learned something down there, you didn't learn in school
Well ya left me, ya left me out in the cold
Then the last time I saw ya, you were headin' back down the road
Well ya got out now, and you wanna come back
I don't want ya baby, that's a natural fact
Oh ya left me, ya left me out in the cold
And the last time I saw you, you were headin' back down the road
