Darling don’t you throw me to the wolves
She whispered as her voice it shook
She’s never seen a good man fall
So I tuck my tail and forget it all
She’s nappy hair and sunken cheeks
Yeah she almost got the best of me
She keeps my picture on her shelf
Yeah she’s fickle and she hates herself
She hates herself

She won’t say, she won’t say she won’t say
Yeah I ask her but it’s one thing she won’t say
She won’t say, she won’t say she won’t say
Yeah I ask her but it’s one thing she won’t say-

Her makeup turned her little face all red
So I told her not to wear it then
She was looking more like beast than girl
We found love in this forsaken world

She left her heart on Rockman’s Pier
On a river far away from here
In the mountain air and the whiskey run
Yeah she used to cry when she was young
When she was young

She won’t say, she won’t say she won’t say
Yeah I ask her but it’s one thing she won’t say
She won’t say, she won’t say she won’t say
Yeah I ask her but it’s one thing she won’t say

She won’t say, she won’t say she won’t say
Yeah I ask her but it’s one thing she won’t say
She won’t say, she won’t say she won’t say
Yeah I ask her but it’s one thing she won’t say
Yeah I ask her but it’s one thing she won’t say
Yeah I ask her but it’s one thing she won’t say
