  • Life has finally shown you
    It's a mean old world
    The killer little soldier
    Is now a scared little girl

    Always had everything
    Just handed to you
    Always had it your way
    I got to hand it to you

    And seeing you now
    All broken down, I gotta say

    It's a funny little tragedy
    A funny little tragedy
    A funny little tragedy

    Your standing on my doorstep
    You say you've got nowhere to go
    You're all soaking wet
    I've never seen you so low

    Sorry if I don't fall
    For your tricks again
    But I seem to recall
    The way you did me in

    And now your new lover
    Has left you high and dry, I gotta say

    It's a funny little tragedy
    A funny little tragedy
    A funny little tragedy

    Yeah I dream about this day
    Seeing you go down this way
    That's all I got to say

    Maybe some day
    If I see you again
    Things will be different
    And we can be friends

    But for now I believe
    You better walk away
    The little soldier and me
    We go our separate ways

    I can watch you walking
    Tears running down your face

    It's a funny little tragedy
    A funny little tragedy
    A funny little tragedy

    Yeah, I dream about this day
    Seeing you down this way
    That's all I got to say Writer/s: WARREN HAYNES
