Once in a house on a hill A boy got angry He broke into my heart For a day and a night I stayed beside him Until I had no hope So I came down the hill Of course I was hurt But then I started to think It shouldn't hurt me to be free It's what I really need To pull myself together But if it's so good being free Would you mind telling me Why I don't know what to do with myself There's a bar by the dock Where I found myself Drinking with this man He offered me a cigarette And I accepted 'Cause it's been a very long time
As it burned 'till the end I thought of the boy No one could ever forget It shouldn't hurt me to be free It's what I really need To pull myself together But if it's so good being free Would you mind telling me Why I don't know what to do with myself To pull myself together But if it's so good being free Would you mind telling me Why I don't know what to do with myself To pull myself together But if it's so good being free Would you mind telling me Why I don't know what to do with myself
