I just bought myself a magazine
To see what I could see
But the photographs look so jaded
In fact, they look just like me
I just bought myself a motor car
To drive away my worries
But it is driving you from me
And it ain't a car that ever hurries
I find it so hard to see just what she saw in me
We were unsuited from the very start of it
I wish that I had the sense to get off this old fence
But I'm condemned to be a little bitty part of it
I just bought myself a romance
But it's not with me in my room
And I'm lighting up another cigarette
To brighten up my gloom
I find it hard to see just what she saw in me
We were unsuited from the very start of it, yeah
And I wish that I had the sense to get off this old fence
But I'm condemned to be a part of it
I wish I had the sense to get off this old fence
I wanna be with you, yes I do
Spent all my money trying to buy a romance just for you
Don't you know I wanna be a little bitty part of you? Yes I do
