You said you were leavin

And I said go on

I don't know exactly what it is

But something went wrong

It wasn't for nothing

It made a sad rhyme

I'm sorry I saw you

I meant to stay blind



And I'm gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight

Gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight



If my mother should ask me where you've gone

Gonna tell her that you joined the Marines

And she'll say c'mon

And then she'll start laughing

And so will I

I'm glad that I'm laughing

It's a good way to die



And I'm gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight

Gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight



When I finish my laundry and air out my head

Gonna look for another long-haired man to help me make my bed

You know that I'll miss you, but, strangely I'm glad

Gonna make it without you

And that's what's so sad

Gonna make it alone and that's what sad

Gonna make it alone and that's what sad

'Cause you know that I'll miss you

But strangely I'm glad

Gonna make it alone

And that's what's so sad
