Sometimes true love has to choose
To do what it don't want to do
Sometimes patience has to give up
A hanging on
Darling, I'll be far away
And you'll be wishing I had stayed
After Ruby, Madge and Mable
Send you home
After Ruby settles down
And Madge moves back to her hometown
After Mable says, "You fool
Leave me alone"
You'll find out how much it hurts
And just how much a dream is worth
After Ruby, Madge and Mable
Send you home
You'll find out what lonely means
But you won't find the broken chains
That once bound our love
Together proud and strong
You'll start talking to the walls
And count every tear that falls
After Ruby, Madge and Mable
Send you home
After Ruby settles down
And Madge moves back to her hometown
After Mable says, "You fool
Leave me alone"
You'll find out how much it hurts
And just how much a dream is worth
After Ruby, Madge and Mable
Send you home
