I've trudged these streets so long let me tell you why my little baby's gone her love used to make me high like a rose in the springtime now there's only mud and rain my little baby's gone what to do with all this pain

I was your boy-toy 'cos you played around with me my heart my body are reeling I bear the scars of 'never good enough for you' so long, baby, we're through

she used to be my chapel with an altar far and wide accepted all my alms boy, she could make my steeple rise to the clouds in the springtime now there's only mud and rain my little baby's gone what to do with all this pain

I was your boy-toy 'cos you played around with me my heart my body are reeling I bear the scars of 'never good enough for you' so long, baby, we're through

I was your boy-toy 'cos you played around with me my heart my body are reeling I bear the scars of 'never good enough for you' so long, baby, we're through

I was your boy-toy 'cos you played around with me my heart my body are reeling I bear the scars of 'never good enough for you' so long, baby, we're through
