The Short End (Sorry, Baby)

I remember long ago when you left me
I was in a panic and things upset me
But I found a helping hand
With it came the strength to stand
Now I hear you lost your man
Sorry, baby

Did you come here hoping to find some pity
I’m not the same old fool, you’re still pretty
Things have fallen into place
And there isn’t any space
For your pretty little face
Sorry, baby

Bridge
Guess you’re on The Short End now
And you’re slipping away
When you’re on The Short End, babe
It gets shorter each day

You’ve been out on the street for an hour
Trying to figure why his love has turned sour
Maybe he’s been foolin ‘round
On the other side of town
If that’s why he put you down
Sorry, baby

Bridge

What did you hope to gain trying to see me
I thought you had everything swinging freely
Now it’s time to pay the price
Tears are flowing from the ice
And if I’m not being nice
Sorry, baby
