Walkin' down the court house steps
Holdin' the papers settin' me free
Big black words staring me in my face
Divorce decree
But the hopes that die
The nights I cry
That's not in the papers settin' me free
ย
Our first home was a furnished room
But our hopes were high
And we vowed to love each other
Until the day we died
And on special occasions you didn't forget
Oh, the little things you gave me, I got 'em yet
ย
Boardwalk strolls on summer nights
Excursion rides, oh, with the colored lights
Dancing on deck, ooh, beneath the stars
We were in love, the world was ours, ooh, baby
But time brought tears as days passed by
And other women, ooh, they caught your eye
Suddenly I wasn't enough for you
And didn't meet the standards you come accustomed to
But now all my hopes have died and at night I cry
That's not in the papers settin' me free
Divorce decree
Holdin' the papers in my hand
Separatin' me from, oh
