Four Years Of Chances

Well, I waited four long winters
Yes, I waited in the Sun
I was crying all alone
While you were out having fun

I gave you four years of chances
But you threw 'em all away
I gave you one thousand, four hundred sixty-one days

I gave you four years of chances
To try to be your wife
I cleaned your shirts
And cooked up your supper
But you stayed out late at night

I gave you four years of chances
To try and fill a happy home
But now one more may as well be
A million and one

And now you know you lost me, darling
And you can't get me back
Ain't that just like a man
To change so fast
Because you want what you can't have

So now I'm going to say it slowly
Before I go away
You had me one thousand, four hundred sixty-one days

I gave you four years of chances
To try to be your wife
I cleaned your shirts
And cooked up your supper
But you stayed out late at night

I gave you four years of chances
To try and fill a happy home
But now one more may as well be
A million and one

I found myself a good man now
You know he treats me like he should
We live in a shack by a railroad track
He's out back chopping wood

We don't have too much money
But I'll tell you why that's okay
He loves me every moment
Of them three hundred sixty-five days

I gave you four years of chances
To try to be your wife
I cleaned your shirts
And washed up the dishes
But you never did treat me right

I gave you four years of chances
To try and build a happy home
But now one more may as well be
A million and one
But now one more may as well be a million and one
