One morning, I'm going to wake up without you on my mind
One morning, I'm going to leave my thoughts of you behind
Because, one morning, you left me, you gave up trying

And I keep telling myself, boy ain't no use crying

I loved you darling with all my heart and a little bit more

Spent all my money on you, steak, and Katie's dance floor
Your emerald colored eyes never revealed what you had in store
I felt all of the hurt in the world when you waltzed out the door


And all of the rubies and sapphires never set you free
And even the yellow mouse in the corner could not see

That unlike the cat in the movies, you never really cared for me
And sometimes they do get snow down in Tempe


One morning, I'm going to wake up without you on my mind
One morning, I'm going to leave my thoughts of you behind
Because, one morning, you left me girl, you gave up lying

And I keep telling myself, boy ain't no use crying

Somewhat dark, yet groovy music played on the radio

I remember, you danced for me in unworn clothes
I spied the pillow: the one stained with tears from a long time ago
Kept reminding me, that you would never allow me to get too close


One morning, I saw you smile at me from across the room
Maybe it was because you knew that you would leave soon

A seer took my coin and pronounced that he saw you in a moon
Or perhaps he only imagined it thru the liquid boiling on the spoon


One morning, I'm going to wake up without you on my mind
One morning, I'm going to leave my thoughts of you behind
Because, one morning, you left me, you know you gave up living

And I keep telling myself, boy ain't no use crying
