Now people seem to watch my footsteps as I go by

They shake their heads and say I'm riding high

But this thing has done drove me wild

And now it's got me down

And made me the talk of the town

I'll go down to the river and slowly walk around

And if my thoughts don't change

A lot I'll jump right in and drown

For after what you've done to me

I know I've grown to be

The laughing stock the talk of the town

I used to think this couldn't happen to a guy like me

As nightfall finds me headed to your door

Now you don't seem to want me

Since a new love you have found

And now I am the talk of the town

I'll go down to the river and slowly walk around

And if my thoughts don't change

A lot I'll jump right in and drown

For after what you've done to me I know I've grown to be

The laughing stock the talk of the town
