"Slip Away" Lyrics

I had a girl, yeah, 'Had' is the word
I tried to hold on but it was pretty absurd
She said she loved me and I said I loved her too
But we weren't having any fun, so what could I do?

I let her slip away
Away
I let her slip away
Away

I had a car, yeah, the color was blue
It kept breaking down, so what could I do
I put an ad in the paper, you know I called it a steal
Then this guy came to see it and we struck up a deal

I let her slip away
Away
I let her slip away
Away

I had a thought
You know I thought it a lot
I thought I was smart
And I now I know that I'm not

I let her slip away
Away
I let her slip away
Away
