I've turned a gad about cause the gal I'm mad about
Is gettin round with somebody new
She broke my heart and then, she broke my heart again
And then she left me here alone to face the blues

Why do I keep loving her is something I don't know
I should have showed that gal the road 10,000 tears ago
She made my sun go down, gave me the runaround
I've turned the gad about, I'm mad about that gal

I know that it's no use, my gal is on the loose
No telling where you'll find her here of late
My nerves are running wild, I'm bawling like a child
I know she'll never love me since I got the gate

I can't help wondering where she is or what she's doing now
She broke my heart and now she's putting wrinkles on my brow
My life ain't worth a dime, just drifting all the time
I've turned a gad about, I'm mad about that gal
