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
choke, no more engagementsWith "where-have-you-beens?"And far
away frownsTrying to be good by 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
enough?So play me the songThat makes it so toughAnother nail for
my heartThen play me the 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 make-up 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
