In every town In every marketplace A statue shines With a sad, lonely face A pretty mister know-it-all Like ancient Rome, he didn't know he would fall In every town In every marketplace Just build a memorial Made of steel and of stone Devoted to the sad and lonely A shrine of burnin' jealousy My shirt, my ring, my foolish smile Make him a spitting image lookalike And then just give that poor fellow And then just give that poor fellow And then just give that poor idiot my name Cause I let you go I let you go This fool let you go In every town In every marketplace Just build a memorial Made of steel and of stone Devoted to the sad and lonely A shrine of burnin' jealousy My shirt, my ring, my foolish smile Make him a spitting image lookalike And then just give that poor fellow And then just give that poor fellow And then just give that poor idiot my name Cause I let you go I let you go I let you go This fool let you go
