My Precious Thing - Original Version

[instrumental:]
 Saw a picture in the paper*
 My baby, and her husband to be
 Ceremony is on Sunday
 Honeymoon in Waikiki
 She was smiling like a float in a parade
 Happiness written all over her face
 I knew someday she'd move on
 Man it didn't take her long
 How'd it come to this?
 She's in Heaven, I'm in Hell
 I'd love to wish her well
 But I hate how happy she is
 How happy she is
 I knew she wouldn't break down
 After we broke up
 But I thought she'd take a moment
 To shed a tear or two for us
 She don't seem to miss me at all
 And it's driving me up the wall
 I knew someday she'd move on
 Man it didn't take her long
 How'd it come to this?
 She's in Heaven, I'm in Hell
 I'd love to wish her well
 But I hate how happy she is
 How happy she is
 Why can't she be
 (Why can't she be)
 As miserable as me
 (Miserable as me)
 I knew someday she'd move on
 Man it didn't take her long
 How'd it come to this?
 She's in Heaven, I'm in Hell
 I'd love to wish her well
 Come to think of it
 Spiteful as it sounds
 I hope it all comes crashing down
 Right on top of her and him
 She's in Heaven, I'm in Hell
 I'd love to wish her well
 But I hate how happy she is
 How happy she is
