You said what we did from the start was no good

And tried to stop everything that you could

Now you're like a meadow that needs raining on

You're looking for tears but your tears have all gone

You're living with one man and wanted one more

You made up your mind when your heart wasn't sure

Now you're like a meadow that can't grow no corn

You told me to leave but you cry cause I'm gone

Chorus:

There were two ways and I had to choose

You knew all along if I won you would lose

You're like a meadow that needs raining on

You're looking for tears but your tears have all gone

You climb up your staircase and count every step

But you know you're trying so hard to forget

You look in your mirror and comb up your hair

You look at his picture and see my big stare

Chorus

You're like a meadow that can't grow no corn

You told me to leave but you cry cause I'm gone

Yes, you're like a meadow that needs raining on

You're looking for tears but your tears have all gone
