I made you a mug
Big enough for that coffee you chug
Even painted the inside brown
So those coffee stains wouldn't get you down
And you
You never saw it
But I wish
I wish you did
Don't know what to say
When people tell me it's a shame
How could they comprehend
I lost my whole world
They lost a friend
I tell them sweetly
That I should go
I know you'd understand completely
You'd play your pretty guitar
I'd try to sing my part
I loved ode to billy Joe
But just how much? You'll never know
Cause you
You had to leave me
But you should know
I'd never let you go so easy
La la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la
La la la la la la la
I wish I could ask
When all these feelings would just pass
Don't know if you could say
I'd still like to ask you anyway
I still hear your laugh
I dread the most
The day I might forget that
Through lyric-less gaps
I like to think you answer back
I'd think of what you'd say
But I recall you hate to see me sad
So I'll just leave that space
For you, you'd know exactly what to do
You'd play your pretty guitar
I'd try to sing my part
I loved ode to billy Joe
But just how much you'll never know
Cause you
You had to leave me
I hope you know
I take you everywhere I go
