Mostly Jeri’s Song

[Verse 1]
They say an unwanted child
Can only make her mother smile
Ah, but the lonesome smile you gave to me
Just could not hide the signs your heart was broken
Honey, I really just don't mind
All the worries that you claim have brought you down
I was lonely then and I'm lonely now

[Chorus]
Babe, I just don't believe in hurtin'
That just ain't no way to treat no friend
Ah, but babe, there's one thing for certain
That is I won't be back again

[Verse 2]
They say a workin' man
Can only do the best he can
But there ain't a thing to keep mе here
Just to watch while thе days and years are taken
Honey, I really just don't mind
If I never see your shoes under my bed
There are places that I would rather be instead

[Chorus]
Babe, I just don't believe in hurtin'
That just ain't no way to treat no friend
Ah, but babe, there's one thing for certain
That is I won't be back again
