Lyrics

It's 3:00 AM, I'm sitting by the back door
Hoping that she'll come home soon

Now it's four and I don't know what to do

It's morning now, my neck is getting sore
Looking out for her once more

Now it's night and she's still out with you

This is why I tell you son, you can't believe in love it will hurt you
This is why I tell you son, you can't believe a woman's soul is true
It's never true

I'm 30 now, and I don't believe my father
Ever really knew the truth

Now I'm grown I don't know what to do

'Cause I'm alone, as another woman leaves I wonder
If true love will ever be mine

Now she's gone and all I've got is time

This is why I tell you son, you can't believe in love it will hurt you
This is why I tell you son, you can't believe a woman's soul is true
It's never true

...

This is why I tell you son, you can't believe in love it will hurt you
This is why I tell you son, you can't believe a woman's soul is true
It's never true

One day you'll see that the advice I'm giving you
Is all that you'll ever need

Then you won't end up like me

'Cause she will leave, and all that you've got left
Is what you started with and that's just you

Then you're alone and you won't know what to do

This is why I tell you son, you can't believe in love it will hurt you
This is why I tell you son, you can't believe a woman's soul is true
It's never true

It's 3:00 AM, I'm sitting by the back door
Hoping that she'll come home soon

Now it's four and I don't know what to do
