Love Don't Last Long - Ringo Starr

Her mother wrote a letter

Said she thought it would be better

If she would just stay gone

She knew of her condition

But she wouldn’t give permission

For her to come back home

So she called the boy who loved her

But all he did was snub her

Said, «Face it on your own»

Mm-mm, love don’t last long

A young man got unlucky

And got busted in Kentucky

Asked his dad to go his bail

But his dad had big ambitions

With the local politicians

Told his son to go to hell

He hung himself that morning

And the note that they found on him

Said, «Dad, please take me home»

A woman told her husband

She lived every day to love him

Nothing else fits in her plans

Then without a warning

He came home from work one morning

Found her there with another man

In a fit of anger

He took her life and the stranger’s

Then he took his own

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
