I've got a date with a teardrop my baby just told me goodbye I knew the day she said it's over that would be the day I cry I've got a date with a teardrop I know we'll want to be alone I guess we'll talk the whole thing over my misery I can't postpone I guess I'll have to learn to take it we'll go steady for awhile Until I find a way to shake it and toss it over for a smile I've got a date with a teardrop I can't keep it waiting long Until we work it out together my teardrop will tag along [ fiddle ] I guess I'll have to learn to take it we'll go steady for awhile...
