Once in a house on a hill
A boy got angry
He broke into my heart
For a day and a night
I stayed beside him
Until I had no hope

So I came down the hill
Of course I was hurt
But then I started to think

Chorus:
It shouldn\'t hurt me to be free
It\'s what I really need
To pull myself together
But if it\'s so good being free
Would you mind telling me
Why I don\'t know what to do with myself

There\'s a bar by the dock
Where I found myself
Drinking with this man
He offered me a cigarette
And I accepted
\'Cause it\'s been a very long time

As it burned \'till the end
I thought of the boy
No one could ever forget

Chorus

To pull myself together
But if it\'s so good being free
Would you mind telling me
Why I don\'t know what to do with myself

To pull myself together
But if it\'s so good being free
Would you mind telling me
Why I don\'t know what to do with myself
