Someone Told My Story (Alternate Take)

I played a brand-new record on the jukebox

And I scarcely could believe the song I heard

It told of how you left me for another

It was almost like I'd written every wordSomeone told my story in a song

The lyrics told of happiness and home

And then it told of how you've done me wrong

Someone told my story in a songThe writer must've seen the way you done me

For he told it all and never missed a line

He told of swinging doors and the jukebox

And he even knew I almost lost my mindSomeone told my story in a song

The lyrics told of happiness and home

Then it told of how you've done me wrong

Someone told my story in a song
