You said you were leavin 
And I said go on
I don't know exactly what it is 
But something went wrong 
It wasn't for nothing 
It made a sad rhyme 
I'm sorry I saw you 
I meant to stay blind 

And I'm gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight 
Gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight 

If my mother should ask me where you've gone 
Gonna tell her that you joined the Marines 
And she'll say c'mon 
And then she'll start laughing 
And so will I 
I'm glad that I'm laughing 
It's a good way to die 

And I'm gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight 
Gonna go out steppin' with my new man tonight 

When I finish my laundry and air out my head 
Gonna look for another long-haired man to help me make 
my bed 
You know that I'll miss you, but, strangely I'm glad 
Gonna make it without you 
And that's what's so sad 
Gonna make it alone and that's what sad 
Gonna make it alone and that's what sad 
'Cause you know that I'll miss you 
But strangely I'm glad 
Gonna make it alone 
And that's what's so sad
