Love's Not For Me

Somewhere down the road yonder
Will I find my love I wonder...
Better not to go and see;
Oft love rips your heart asunder,
Nah, I shouldn't repeat the blunder,
I'll turn tail and flee!

I once walked this very road
But endured a heavy load
in my heart of grief;
I better stick to my code
Lest my peace again erode-
Must turn over a new leaf!
