lyrics
Everybody knows that you’ve been untrue
You’ve gone and broke my heart and made me blue
You turned my head around
Then you tore me down.
If I had a choice Id not be sad
‘Cause when I hear your voice it makes me glad
But baby’s not around
Look she’s leaving town.
Baby, baby, don’t run away
I want you to stay
I’m sorry, so sorry
I’ve made you blue
You should be sorry too
You should be sorry too.
Now I’m so alone, you’re far away
I sit here at home, no words to say
To anyone around
‘Cause you tore me down
You tore me down
You tore me down
You’ve gone and broke my heart and made me blue
You turned my head around
Then you tore me down.
If I had a choice Id not be sad
‘Cause when I hear your voice it makes me glad
But baby’s not around
Look she’s leaving town.
Baby, baby, don’t run away
I want you to stay
I’m sorry, so sorry
I’ve made you blue
You should be sorry too
You should be sorry too.
Now I’m so alone, you’re far away
I sit here at home, no words to say
To anyone around
‘Cause you tore me down
You tore me down
You tore me down

You bet make solo albums & perform singer-songwriter gigs, I’ve toured solo from London to Los Angeles to Sydney to Hong Kong to Helsinki too. Million Dollar Bash is my well-received book on The Basement Tapes and I've never met Dylan. ... more

This is equally gorgeous and rocking - just a wonderful set of songs and great performances and arrangements (and the guitar solos are perfect). As one who was only familiar with the Long Ryders music, coming across this is ear-opening...akin to hearing Gene Clark solo stuff at the first time and marveling how it equaled/bested the Byrds.
