Chorus:
oh, i was left (left), right (right)
out of your arms
oh, i was left (left), right (right)

out of your heart
-verses- (female version)
1.
oh, you were such a cute marine
i really was impressed
you said of all the girls you knew
that you liked me the best
i gave you all my kisses
surrendered all my charms
but time revealed, you played the field
and i was...left...
(chorus)
2.
you said you'd look me up, up, up
when you got back to town
but when you hit the city
all you did was look around
i caught you with a red-head
and, baby, tho' you said
you're merely warmin'up for me
i figure i was...left...
(chorus)
3.
you called me on the telephone
and said: "suzie dear
you're bein' mighty silly
in believin' all you hear
you know i love you only
so suzie save your breath"
but, since my name is cindy lou
i know that i was...left...
