And tonight the light bulb went out down the hall
Somebody threw a baseball through my window
And I'm holding to pieces of my dreams
If I didn't yell my payments made by ten
There ain't nothin' in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
Nothing turns out half right, now it seems
Oh, the man he came today, said he'd haul all my things away
Oh, things have gone to pieces since you left me
Now nothin' turns out half right, now it seems
There ain't nothin' in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
And today the boss said, ''I'm sorry son, I can't use you anymore"
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
And the arm fell off my favourite chair today
