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 time 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 memory 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 a heartbreak that I found
Only silence to torment me, no strong hand to touch me gently
It's the morning after baby let me down
There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me
And I started in to 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 this lump 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 let me down
It's the daybreak and a heartbreak that I found
Only silence to torment me, no strong hand to touch me gently
It's the morning after baby let me down
