Standard (EADGBE)

 When I said those things I was out of my mind

I was trying to be mean and cruel and unkind

 Don't take it to heart

 There's another man inside me wants to break us apart

 You were chic, off the peg, bang up to the minute

I had to put my big foot in it

 Don't shout it all about

 There's another man inside me and he wants to get out

Chorus

 Oh mascara tears, bitter and black

Spent bullet drilled a hole in my back

Salt for the memory, black for the years

Black is forever, mascara tears

There's hell and hoodoo in your kitchen

You've got to scratch the place you're itching

How long will it take

There's another girl inside you and she never got a break

Chorus

 You just moan and weep and moan and weep

 And moan and weep and moan and weep

Dirty rivers running down your face

Tears all down your party lace

Chorus
