Red Rubber Ball

Red Rubber Ball - Nellie McKay

I should have known

You'd bid me farewell

There's a lesson to be learned from this

And I learned it very well

Now I know you're not the only

Starfish in the sea

If I never hear your name again

It's all the same to me

And I think it's gonna be alright

Yeah the worst is over now

The morning sun is shining

Like a red rubber ball

You never care

For secrets I confide

For you I'm just an ornament

Something for your pride

Always running never caring

That's the life you live

Stolen minutes of your time

Were all you had to give

And I think it's gonna be alright

Yeah the worst is over now

The morning sun is shining

Like a red rubber ball

The story's in the past

With nothing to recall

I've got my life to live

And I don't need you at all

The roller coaster ride we took

Is nearly at an end

I bought my ticket with my tears

And that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be all right

Yeah the worst is over now

The morning sun is shining

Like a red rubber ball

And I think it's gonna be alright

Yeah the worst is over now

The morning sun is shining

Like a red rubber ball
