Well there oughta be a law against what he's done Stole my heart and away he run Didn't leave me a thing but misery And there oughta be a law against the way he's hurtin' me The world keeps turnin' round and round but I'm just standin' still Since my baby left me I've just lost my will All my old get up and go has done got up and gone I guess it when to find the place where happiness has flown Well there oughta be a law... He used to say he'd be my friend as long as I should please If all my friends are like him, well who needs enemies They oughta pass a law some way to lock him up for life To make him honor and obey and take me for his wife Well there oughta be a law... And there oughta be a law against the way he's hurtin' me
