LYRICS

You said it was a shame
You said it was a sin
You said that you'd never know another
Like the love that we've been in
You said it hurt you more than it hurt me
But you know that I knew you didn't have to leave
Cause when you said goodbye
You were only crying out of one eye

I saw you on the town
Laughing with your friends
I knew you didn't want to ever see me again
You took our love babe
And you shed me a little tear
But I caught a little smile and it made it so clear
Cause when you said goodbye
You were only crying out of one eye

When you tried to cry
And make me feel better
I wish your little hankie
Could have been a little wetter
You were staring at your shoes
Looking awful sad
But I could see right through you
You weren't taking it that bad
Cause when you said goodbye
You were only crying out of one eye
Cause when you said goodbye
You were only crying out of one eye
