Once in a house on a hill   A boy got angry   He broke into my heart      For a day and a night   I stayed beside him   Until I had no hope      So I came down the hill   Of course I was hurt   But then I started to think      It shouldn't hurt me to be free   It's what I really need   To pull myself together   But if it's so good being free   Would you mind telling me   Why I don't know what to do with myself       There's a bar by the dock   Where I found myself   Drinking with this man   He offered me a cigarette   And I accepted   'Cause it's been a very long time   As it burned 'till the end   I thought of the boy   No one could ever forget      It shouldn't hurt me to be free   It's what I really need   To pull myself together   But if it's so good being free   Would you mind telling me   Why I don't know what to do with myself       To pull myself together   But if it's so good being free   Would you mind telling me   Why I don't know what to do with myself      To pull myself together   But if it's so good being free   Would you mind telling me   Why I don't know what to do with myself
