There’s a lot of people in this city going home alone
Waiting by the phone to call their name
Maybe I don’t understand, but I just want to hold her hand
And things will never be the same
One two three I’m knocking on her door
Still I don’t know what she’s looking for
She don’t know my name, I’ve been down this road before
She loves me but she leaves me all alone
Chorus:
She goes far away
She loves me but she leaves me all alone
She goes far away
She loves me but she leaves me all alone
My baby’s always so busy
Out playing writing and living
Sometimes I’m left missing her lips
Sheets still on the floor
The pots still on the stove from the morning
This room stopped breathing when she left
She goes far away
She loves me but she leaves me all alone
She goes far away
She loves me but she leaves me all alone
I don’t know but I’ve been told before
The less you get you love ‘em even more
She don’t know my name
I’ve been down this road before
She loves me but she leaves me oh
She loves me but she leaves me oh
She goes far away
She loves me but she leaves me all alone
She goes far away
She loves me but she leaves me all alone
She loves me, she loves me
She loves me but she leaves me all alone
She loves me, she loves, loves me,
She loves me but she leaves me all alone
