Lyrics:

About as low as I felt in a long time

And I know that I did a wrong at the wrong time

It's plain to see, she's down on me

And I know she'll feel that way for a long time

I was high on top but I didn't know it

Tell me, why did I have to go and blow it?

I used my lines too many times

And now I've got a badly hurt heart to show it

Took me too long to discover

How much I really love her

How'd I ever end up in this bind?

What a drag

There she goes looking for pretty clover

No one knows what it's like until it over

Without a doubt, I just found out

And I suppose I never did get to know her

Tear drop city, Tear drop city

Took me to long to discover

How much I really love her

How'd I ever end up in this bind

What a drag

About as low as I felt in a long time...
