I saw your car in the lot
You didnt answer my knock
Guess Im all out of luck
I cant believe you forgot
about the bargain we struck
Im easily bought
At least I still have my truck
so I circled your block
till I spent my last buck
I painted everything green
with a melony sheen
You said you wanted it black
so I adopted your scheme
until you wanted it back
I ran the machine
while you ran off the track
Now youre the girl of your dreams
Im just the man with the facts
Baby,
I understand
you had a change of plans
but did you have to leave
on New Years Eve?
Im cold and Im bored
Its more than I can afford
Why did you have to leave
on New Years Eve?
Now, you still havent played
the last record I made
All those loud, loud voices
wonder would you have stayed
if Id made better choices
You found a parade
and made your own loud noises
So who was betrayed
in all our compromises?
Baby,
I understand
Im no longer your man
but did you have to leave
on New Years Eve?
Im drunk and Im tired
and I cant light a fire
Why did you have to leave
on New Years?
I understand
you had a change of plans
but did you have to leave
on New Years Eve?
Im cold and Im bored
Its more than I can afford
I cant believe youd leave
on New Years Eve
