Once in a house on a hill
A boy got angry
He broke into my heart
For a day and a night
I stayed beside him
Until I had no hope
So I came down the hill
Of course I was hurt
But then I started to think
It shouldn't hurt me to be free
It's what I really need
To pull myself together
But if it's so good bein' free
Would you mind tellin' me
Why I don't know what to do with myself?
There's a bar by the dock
Where I found myself
Drinking with this man
He offered me a cigarette
And I accepted
'Cause it's been a very long time
As it burned till the end
I thought of the boy
No one could ever forget
It shouldn't hurt me to be free
It's what I really need
To pull myself together
But if it's so good bein' free
Would you mind tellin' me
Why I don't know what to do with myself?
To pull myself together
But if it's so good bein' free
Would you mind tellin' me
Why I don't know what to do with myself?
To pull myself together
But if it's so good bein' free
Would you mind tellin' me
Why I don't know what to do with myself?
