No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know


I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore


Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows


I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore

I read all the letters,
I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now,
And the words start to fade
All the memories I have,
Still remain

I've kept all the pictures,
But I hide my feelings so no-one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round,
But I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cos you're gone now,
But your heart,still remains
And it'll be here if you come again

You see,I'd heard the rumours,
I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it,not you,
No you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong,but I love,
I love you the same
And that's the one thing
That you can't take away
But just remember...

If leaving me is easy,
Going back is harder...etc.

If leaving me is easy,
Going back is harder...etc.

If leaving me is easy,
Going back is harder...etc.

If leaving me is easy,
Going back is harder...etc.

If leaving me is easy,
Going back is harder...etc.

I was so high
I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart

This love has taken it's toll on me
She said Goodbye
Too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice
Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye
Too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice
Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
It's all right, It's all right
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye
Too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice
Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye
Too many times before
My heart is breaking in front of me
She said Goodbye
Too many times before

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye
Too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice
Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye
Too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice
Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
They wait for you.
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it.
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it.

Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid.
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her.
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
Was I?
But I did it, though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I . . .
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.
