hey baby thanks a lot for standing me up tonight just when i thought i d already emptied the tank you dropped the bomb and then came a song so i guess it s all right another brick in the wall of this heartbreak and i have you to thank and i don t know why i write all these sad songs about you cause i ll have to sing em somehow for the rest of my life i don t know why i write all these sad songs about you well i guess they just hurt a lot less than another goodbye hey baby thanks for pulling the rug out from under me just when i thought i d come to the end of my rope you shot me down and it all turned around and it came out so easily another song about you and it too leaves me full of false hope just another sad song that i wrote about living without you well i guess it just hurts a lot less than another goodbye  hey baby thanks a lot for standing me up tonight
