From the recording I'm All Yours
Lyrics
Breakup Blues / Martine Tabilio
You could have treated me more gently baby
The night you said goodbye
There was no call to be so brutal
You left me high and dry
You could have treated me more gently, baby
and offered up some lie
Brutal
You left me high & dry
Why d’ya have to be so cruel and heartless
Wiping out my pride
By telling me how you deceived me – so cold
I nearly died
Why did’ya have to be so heartless, Baby
Got noth’n left inside
Cruel
So Cold and heartless
You mighta taken the high road baby
The night you let me go
A gentle word a soft caress
That-might-have eased the blow
Wish you’d taken the high road baby
But no you took the low
The night you let me go…
You took the low
The night you let me go
You took the low – low – low!
