"Signed Gladys" lyrics

My eyes are dark and wet
As the ink from my fountain pen
It's hard to write goodbye
Knowin' it means the end
I meant to tell you, boy
Face to face
But I simply lost my nerve
I looked at you
And couldn't say a word

I guess I loved you too much
To share your love
Signed Gladys, oh yeah
(Signed Gladys, oh yeah)

If you need her, too
Then I'm not enough for you
Somewhere I know
I must have failed
If I knew how or why
There wouldn't be goodbye
And this tear filled letter, boy
Would never reach the mail
I guess I loved you too much
To share your love
Signed Gladys, oh yeah
(Signed Gladys, oh yeah)

I'm tried of the life I lead
It's a three way tragedy
It might be all right with her
But it just ain't enough for me

I guess I loved you too much
To share your love
Signed Gladys, oh yeah
(Signed Gladys, oh yeah)

Though I'm writin' this letter
I'm gonna tear it up
Before I send it to you
And risk losin' your love
What's in this letter
You'll never read...
