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.
