Backwoods

i saw you downtown
 and you gave me the eye
 i saw you
 and i wanted to cry
 cuz i know i've seen you somewhere before
 we had a life but it is never more
 now i'm alone in my room and i'm waiting to die
 well i had this heart
 it was made out of glass
 i gave it to you
 and you said "this won't last"
 then you threw it out to the dogs in the street
 they crushed it under their dirty hind feet
 picked up the pieces and threw them all out in the trash
 chorus
 this time i'm lookin' for
 something i didn't have before
 somebody who will take up my time
 somebody who won't mess with my mind
 bye bye leave me alone
 don't bother calling i'll never be home
 with boys like you i'm better off on my own
 well i've got this heart
 and it's made out of wax
 and i stuffed it full
 of old nails and tacks
 then i put it into a red flannel sack
 stuffed it under my bed at the back
 i dripped the wax on the face of your photograph
 this time i'm lookin' for
 something i didn't have before
 somebody who will take up my time
 somebody who is clever and kind
 bye bye leave me alone
 don't bother calling i'll never be home
 with boys like you i'm better off on my own
 yeah with boys like you i'm better off on my own
