Don`t tell me hard luck stories
And I won`t tell you mine
Don`t tell me hard luck stories
And I won`t tell you mine.
Every time you`re feelin` fine
Got another good one on the line
It slips away,
You feel it slip away, slip away.
I don`t want no more from you
Won`t do what you want me to
Turn me loose
Come on turn me loose,
turn me loose.
Every time I`m feelin` good
The phone rings
and I knock on wood
Hoping that it won`t be you
Calling like you always do.
All you ever seem to say is
How much bad luck came your way
You won`t try to start again
You just count
on your old friends.
Don`t tell me hard luck stories
And I won`t tell you mine
Don`t tell me hard luck stories
And I won`t tell you mine.
Now you call up every day
Got no money no place to stay
That girl made a mess of you
You got what was comin` too.
Build her up and let her down
Tastin` everythin` in town
Treat her right, you never
Treat her right, treat her right.
Now she`s gone and you`re alone
Bite your fingers to the bone
Slip away,
You feel it slip away, slip away.
You don`t know what`s goin` on
How you lost it, what went wrong
What ever happened to
The love that you once knew.
Don`t tell me hard luck stories
And I won`t tell you mine
Don`t tell me hard luck stories
And I won`t tell you mine.
