(Larry Gatlin)

I told her to leave me alone, that's what she's done, just what she's done
And a house built for two ain't a home when it's lived in by one, one lonely one
And I can no longer hear footsteps from right down the hall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are harder they fall.

She caught me lying then she caught a train
And I caught a fever walking home in the rain
But it's over and I'm done, she's left me once and for all
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are harder they fall.
(Here come the teardrops,) bitter they are harder they fall.

I told her to leave me alone, that's what she's done, just what she's done
And a house built for two ain't a home when it's lived in by one, one lonely one
And I can no longer hear footsteps from right down the hall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are harder they fall...
