The Morning After Baby Let Me Down

(Ray Griff) The alarm clock woke my sleeping but I lay there for a minute With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain I stopped that bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat Then I settled back and closed my eyes again. I reached out for my baby for some early mornin' lovin' Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head There was just an empty pillow and the mem'ry of his kisses Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed. It's the morning after baby let me down It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently It's the mornin' after baby let me down. There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me And I started into trembling like a leaf How could he ever leave me he was more than just a lover And he knew all the ways to make me feel complete. I can taste the salty teardrops God it's gettin' hard to swallow Hope a gla*s of wine will take his love away Got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feeling What a good for nothing way to start the day. It's the morning after baby let me down It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently It's the mornin' after baby let me down...
