i met her at the motel grand.
i knew it wouldna??t be a one-night stand,
so i rented a room for a couple of weeks.
finest franklin that ia??ve ever spent.
not a bad rate for two-weeksa?? rent,
though i must admit i didna??t get too much sleep.

i loved her in the morning time, and in the evening, too.
with a heart that remains true.

but then i met the girl with the smile.
i was thinking this could last a little while,
but that was right before the girl with the braids in her hair.
i met her in the afternoon.
i think i might have spoke just a little too soon,
because she was gone before i had time to care.

i loved her in the morning time, and in the evening, too.
with a heart that remains true.

but then i said bye bye baby, bye bye.
you know that i love you so.
bye bye baby, bye bye.
i cana??t stand to see you go.

i loved her in the morning time, and in the evening, too.
with a heart that remains true.

now ia??ve got her this girla??s meant to be mine.
ia??m gonna love her a??til the end of time,
or however long that ends up to be.
shea??ll probably leave me, though, shea??s just like the rest.
and ia??ll be left looking for the girl whoa??s best.
i can only hope shea??s still looking for me.

until then ia??m gonna say, bye bye baby, bye bye.
you know that i love you so.
bye bye baby, bye bye.
i cana??t stand to see you go.

i loved her in the morning time, and in the evening, too.
with a heart that remains true.
