Lyrics:

(difford/tilbrook)The case was pulled from under the bedShe made a call to a sympathetic friendAnd made arrangementsThe door was closed there was a noteI couldn’t be botheredMaybe I’ll chokeNo more engagementsWith where have you been’sAnd faraway frownsTrying to be goodBy not being ’roundAnd here in the barThe piano man’s foundAnother nail for my heartThat stupid old bugThat kills only loveI want to be goodIs that not enoughSo play me the songThat makes it so toughAnother nail for my heartThen play me that songThat makes it so toughAnother nail for my heartI had excuses those little boy liesThat she computed by watching my eyesAnd told me firmlyShe couldn’t stand it I’m bad on her heartShe dropped her makeup and I found the barNow it concerns meI’ve had a bad timeNow love is resignedI’ve been such a foolI’ve loved and goodbyedSo here in the barThe piano man’s foundAnother nail for my heartAnd here in the barThe piano man’s foundAnother nail for my heart
