The Morning After Baby Let Me Down - Loretta Lynn

The alarm clock woke my sleeping but I lay there for a minute

With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain

I stopped that bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat

Then I settled back and closed my eyes again

I reached out for my baby for some early mornin' lovin'

Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head

There was just an empty pillow and the mem’ry of his kisses

Baby wasn’t there beside me in the bed

It’s the morning after baby let me down

It’s the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found

Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently

It’s the mornin' after baby let me down

There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me

And I started into trembling like a leaf

How could he ever leave me he was more than just a lover

And he knew all the ways to make me feel complete

I can taste the salty teardrops God it’s gettin' hard to swallow

Hope a glass of wine will take his love away

Got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feeling

What a good for nothing way to start the day

It’s the morning after baby…
