You could have told me yourself
That you found someone else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don’t ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I’m going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don’t ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
You drink the milk right from the carton
What are you, in kindergarten?
You’re belchin’ everywhere, foulin’ up the air
Then you use my razor to shave your back hair
Evidently,
You’re in my way.
You cross the line.
You’re in my face.
You’re on my case.
You really waste my time.
You talk too much.
You have no touch.
You drive it in the ground.
You push too hard.
You talk too loud.
You stay too long.
You’re in my song, but You ain’t in my crowd.
I’m gonna step on You.
TL;DR: You gets squashed on sight.
You shook me all night long
I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies
ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum-dum
On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
I look in your eyes, just like the rain
Washing me, rain wash over me
Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat
Echo in my head like a scream
What you do to me
Waited so long I can’t wait another day without you
Jet city woman
It’s a long way, home to my-
Jet city woman
I see her face everywhere
Can’t get her out of my mind
What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that’s what really hurts
Maggie Mae, Rod Stewart
You throw our jigsaw all over the floor
“I’ve Returned” - Squeeze
And from the annals of “Yeah. That’d probably piss me off, too:”
You broke my heart
'Cause I couldn’t dance
You didn’t even want me around
And a classic … that probably fueled hundreds of songs:
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I’m so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothin’ seems to be the same old way
ETA:
Or J. Geils Band’s take on the subject (that song rather rocked for its time):
When you left me all alone
You left me cryin’ on my own
You’ve blown it all sky high
By telling me a lie
Without a reason why
You’ve blown it all sky high
You, you’ve blown it all sky high
Our love had wings to fly
We could have touched the sky
You’ve blown it all sky high
Jigsaw, “Sky High”
Got a funny feeling you don’t love me anymore.
Why…
You never even call me by my name.
but…
Thank God and Greyhound, you’re gone!
but as always,
How could you say that?
Do you really mean that?
What a hurtful thing to say
I know we’re breaking
I know you’re leaving
But that don’t mean
You can treat me that way
Mason Jennings - Moon Sailing on the Water
You don’t really love me
You just keep me hangin’ on.
Diana Ross & the Supremes
You don’t bring me flowers.
