Gathering Dust

(Don Rich - Doyle Holly)

Vocal: Doyle Holly



When you left me it came as a big surprise

And the tears rolled down my rosy cheeks from my big blue eyes

You said for your high class friends I wadn't good enough

So you put me in this corner gathering dust.



Well, I never thought that you'd treat me that a way

And made me sittin' here alone on my dignity while you're out to play

And every night you go out and really strat your stuff

While I'm sittin' here in this corner gathering dust.



Well, a man ain't a man when he's got no plan

And don't know what he's gonna do

But I ain't that kind to let you break my mind

And I'm gonna get over you.



I'm gonna find myself a new baby every night

I'm gonna find 'em fool 'em then forget I ever held 'em tight

Don't waste your time a comin' round tryin' to raise a fuss

'Cause I'm all through sittin' in the corner gathering dust.



Well, a man ain't a man when he's got no plan

And don't know what he's gonna do

But I ain't that kind to let you break my mind

And I'm gonna get over you.



I'm gonna find myself a new baby every night

I'm gonna find 'em fool 'em then forget I ever held 'em tight

Don't waste your time a comin' round tryin' to raise a fuss

'Cause I'm all through sittin' in the corner gathering dust...
