I lived in a tenement six floors above,
I lent you my records and I lent you my love,
But you left me on the weekend without a by-your-leave,
That's a dirty and a low-down trick
My folks all think you're mean.
But I don't mind, that's kind of nifty,
You always see those break-ups in the movies;
And just like a light you put me out,
Now I'm gonna do my best
To get you back in the nest you came from.
You can erase me if you want to,
Turn your sights on other men,
But whenever you're ready,
Honey, we'll go steady again.
It's nasty without you in my little room,
I miss you like crazy, please come back soon;
I was joking with those things I said,
I couldn't have been thinking,
If you don't come back I think I'll crack,
Just like my old ceiling.
