Kind Words

Hello girl, I was just passing through
And I thought I'd stop, check on the family
How're things with you?
I said "Hello girl, I was pushing through"
I said "Hello girl, how are tricks with you?"
The kids are eight and ten
They haven't seen you since who knows when
Ah, well you know girl, I live outside of town
Oh hello girl, I can't just plop 'round

Take a look in these eyes
Can't you see they're all you've left behind
Take a look in this face, your kind words come much too late

Oh hello girl, here's what I'd like to do
I'll write a check girl, yeah, that I could give to you
Well you're much too late for that
Join your friends back down the track
Well you know girl, you really can be mean
Don't turn me out girl, think, we made such a team

Take a look in these eyes
Can't you see the hurt you've left behind
Take a look in this face, your kind words come much too late

And you say kind words and promises are all that I'm good for
You never want me back again, that's what you said

Take a look in these eyes
Can't you see the hurt you've left behind
Take a look in this face, your kind words come much too late
Take a look in these eyes
Can't you see the hurt you've left behind
Take a look in this face, your kind words come much too late
Much too late

Kind words and promises are all that you're good for
I never want you back again
Oh just for thinking I don't hurt, oh you know you're such a nerve
Yeah for thinking I don't hurt, oh you know you're such a nerve
I never want you back again
I never want you back
Take your new car home to your new wife
Take your whole life down that road
