Blue Autumn, falling leaves of red and gold Pretty colors, I am told But I see only shades of blue Because I’m losing you - “Blue Autumn” You go by, with some other guy While I stand here alone You don’t think that I should cry But I’m not made of stone - “It Hurts Me” You want me to be your slave I tell you baby, you just better behave... I’ve been keeping my eyes on you all day Just to make sure you didn’t go astray I watched you talk to every boy in town Now I’m gonna put my foot down - “I Know You Better than That”
