 Repeat this progression throughout the song.
Violets  are blue, roses are red
 I want  you to leave and I mean what I said
 The jury's  verdict is in  and you've crossed the line.
Spare  me the drama and your crocodile tears
Cocaine,  vodka and a half dozen beers
There's  no excuse for the way  you acted last night
 So go,  pack your bags, I'm not listening  to you cry
 There is no next  time or another try
 So go,  pack your bags and find somewhere  else to cry
 This is the last  time that I'll say goodbye
 Well you bitch  and complain as a means to an end
 You don't  like my momma and you hate all my friends
 Well honey,  I've got news for you,  the feeling is shared
They  say true love is golden but bruises are black
 You think  that you are but you ain't coming back
 You're a walking,  a cold lonely road,  you ain't prepared
Here  is a quarter, call someone who cares
 Or believes  that I accidently fell down the stairs
Or  the phone book that knocked me out cold  just fell of the shelf
Well  I have a good job and I don't look too bad
 And there are plenty  of women who would be more than glad
 To keep  me from sitting around  feeling bad for myself
 Chorus x 2
 Solo/Outro
