"Slip Away" lyrics

I had a girl
"Had" is the word
I tried to hold on
But it was pretty absurd

She said she loved me
And I said I loved her too
But we weren't having any fun
So what could I do

I let her slip away
Away
I let her slip away
Away

I had a car
The colour was blue
It kept breaking down
So what could I do

I put an ad in the paper
You know I called it a steal
Then this guy came to see it
And we struck up a deal

I let it slip away
Away
I let her slip away
Away

I had a thought
You know I thought it a lot
I thought I was smart
But I now I know that I'm not

[2x]
I let it slip away
Away
I let her slip away
Away
