Steppenwolf - Disappointment Number (Unknown) lyrics

Words and music by John Kay

I don't believe that I can hold you anymore

Now don't say good bye, walk out the door

Nobody's blaming you, I've been wrong before

Across the street I see shadows and candlelight

But I'm here all alone it just ain't right

You know across the street I see shadows and candlelight

You know it makes me feel like sighing

To hear their laughter in the night

The sky is crying

The tears roll down by window pane

So I go out walking in the rain

And I'm blue again

Hey gal you didn't treat me right

You got me walkin' round all through the night

Can't keep my feet still

I need someone but it sure ain't you

Got a little bit mad 'cause you couldn't be true

Somebody else will

Find me a bar, gonna spend my bread

Wake up next morning under the bed

Feel a lot worse like a man with an elephant's head

You know I need somebody but it sure ain't you

Got a little bit mad 'cause you couldn't be true

Somebody else will

You know I feel so mean

I could shoot down the morning sun

You know I feel so mean

I could shoot down the morning sun

But when you hurt someone

You know you wind up on the run
