Lyrics

I’ve got to stand (F)tall.

You know a man that can’t sin (F)crawl.

For when he knows you tell of lies and he lets them pass so by, then he’s (C7)not a man at (F)all.

Don’t want your love

an y more.

Don’t want your kiss

es, that’s for sure.

I die each (Dm)time

I hear this (Bb)sound.

Here he (F)comes.

That’s Cath y’s clown.

When you see me shed a (F)tear

You and you know that it’s sin (F)cere,

don’t when you think it’s kind of sad that you’re treat ing me so bad, then or (C7)don’t you e ven (F)care?

Don’t want your love

an y more.

Don’t want your kiss

es, that’s for sure.

I die each (Dm)time

I hear this (Bb)sound.

Here he (F)comes.

That’s Cath y’s clown.

When you see me shed a clown.
