Red Rubber Ball

(Capo 2)

 

I should have known, you’d bid me fare well,

You never cared for secrets I’d confide,

The story’s in the past, with nothing to re-call,

 

There’s a lesson to be learned from this,

To you, I’m just an ornament,

I’ve got my life to live,

 

And I learned it very well.

Something for your pride,

And I don’t need you at all,

 

Now I know you’re not the only starfish in the sea

Always running, never caring, that’s the life you live,

The roller coaster ride we took is nearly at an end,

 

If I never hear your name again, it’s all the same to me.

Stolen moments of your time were all you had to give.

I bought my ticket with my tears, that’s all I’m gonna spend.

Chorus:

And I think it’s going to be alright,

 

Yeah, the worst is over now,

 

the morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball
