|
You were planning to stay in, you had it carefully planned |
|
Your coat was hanging in the hall, your hat was in your hand |
|
You walked over to your woman, your pale distracted love |
|
Who was trying to put the wrong hand into the wrong glove |
|
Are you leaving, dear? Are you leaving, dear? |
|
Are you leaving, dear? Are you leaving, dear? |
|
So you start reading all her books, all her magazines |
|
Just to get a better understanding |
|
Your brain feels like it's dead |
|
Your eyes are hanging out your head |
|
You were hoping for something less demanding |
|
Well what you see staring out at you from a photo book |
|
A man with an eyepatch and a bent, bloody hook |
|
You wished to God that you never went and took a look |
|
Cause it's in that moment that you know that |
|
she's leaving you |
|
Yeah she's leaving you |
|
Well now she's taking you to bed |
|
Her legs wrapped round your head |
|
You're losing her to some crazy kind of motion |
|
You keep coming up for air |
|
You look around and stare |
|
Find you're swimming into completely different oceans |
|
You're wondering if she's thinking about some other man |
|
She says, "C'mon, baby, you know you are my loverman" |
|
You're going nuts you don't know exactly what to say |
|
She says, "Don't worry, baby, this is just my little way |
|
of leaving you" |
|
Oh, man, she's leaving you |
|
Guitar solo! |
|
She keeps saying, "Hey, don't hate me" |
|
She keeps saying, "Hate is just some kind of failure of the imagination" |
|
She keeps saying things like this |
|
Now she's giving you a kiss |
|
Now she's got you dragging her to the station |
|
The sun just slipped out of the sky, this is a black letter day |
|
Her train is moving down the platform, and is drawn away |
|
You're crying buckets, she gives her glove a wave |
|
She says "Oh c'mon, baby, that's no way to behave |
|
when I'm leaving you" |
|
Oh yeah, she's leaving you |
|
Oh yeah, she's leaving you |
|
Yeah, she's leaving you |
|
She's leaving you |
|
Yeah, she's leaving you |
|
Yeah, she's leaving you |
|
Yeah, she's leaving you |
