That's too bad

from Fingers in my Pocket by Robin Auld

lyrics

You gotta leave the house ‘cos the landlord wants you out
you need a little hand so you’re giving me the shout
I know that when we parted we’d agreed that we’d be friends
but carrying your furniture is where the friendship ends.
Darlin’ that’s too bad, but it’s a no-can-do
Darlin’ that’s too bad, but it’s a no-can-do
I guess you should have thought of that
when I was still in love with you.
You used to laugh with all your friends saying I was just no use
layin’ round the house never fixing what was loose
imagine my surprise at the nature of your call
turns out that you think I might be useful after all.
Darlin’ that’s too bad, but it’s a no-can-do
Darlin’ that’s too bad, but it’s a no-can-do
I guess you should have thought of that
when I was still in love with you.
Your friends are out of town and you don’t know what to do
someone’s got to take the cat for just a day or two
I know how hard it was to get your dresser up the stair
if you remember baby I’m the one that got it there.
Darlin’ that’s too bad, but it’s a no-can-do
Darlin’ that’s too bad, but it’s a no-can-do
I guess you should have thought of that
when I was still in love with you.
