lyrics

You put my love on layaway
You said you’d come back for me again someday
You put my love on layaway
You said you needed to take a little break
So I waited long, seasons went on
I waited faithfully
You put my love on layaway
But you forgot to come back for me

It was business as usual
When you came through the door that day
There was no special promotion
Or no sale in the store that day
It was just me in the window
A mannequin who caught your gaze
Just me in the window
Wasn’t enough to make you stay
You came and tried me on for size
Wore me around the store awhile
I thought it was a real love
So I just trusted when

You put my love on layaway
You said you’d come back for me again someday
You put my love on layaway
You said you needed to take a little break
So I waited long, seasons went on
I waited faithfully
You put my love on layaway
But you forgot to come back for me

I waited long, seasons went on
Love on layaway, waiting for you to come

It was business as usual
For every other girl but me
I was caught in confusion as
I waited for you hopefully
Oh I ju-ust sat on the sideline
Afraid to get back in the game
Ju-ust sat on the sideline
My naïve mind took all the blame
I set myself upon the shelf
I put my heart on hold for you
No guarantee, but foolishly
I still believed you when

You put my love on layaway
You said you’d come back for me again someday
You put my love on layaway
You said you needed to take a little break
So I waited long, seasons went on
I waited faithfully
You put my love on layaway
But you forgot to come back for me
I waited long, seasons went on

I set myself upon the shelf
I put my heart on hold for you
No guarantee, but foolishly
I still believed you when

You put my love on layaway
You said you’d come back for me again someday
You put my love on layaway
You said you needed to take a little break
So I waited long, seasons went on
I waited faithfully
You put my love on layaway
But you forgot to come back for me
