 Yea, well it  won't be but a week or two,
 You'll be out lovin' someone new.
Must  have happened a hundred times before.
 And I can see  you been spreadin' yourself thin too.
 It's a lonely  stage we've been goin' through.
Don't  get up, I can find  my own way to the door.
 And, I can see  you are an angel, whose wings just won't unfold
Tune  up your harp; and polish your old halo.
 Yea, the only  kind of man that you ever  wanted
 Was the one  that you knew  you'd never hold  very long
Sittin'  there cryin' like I'm  the first one to go.
 Yea, you may have thirty lovers behind you.
 Hey, I can feel you, but I sure can't find you.
 Seems like you would have found your own self by now.
 But late at night your old lovers' tears come back,
 faces in your dreams, fingers in your back,
 voices of the memories, cryin' out loud.
 Modulation: /  /  /  /  /
 Ah, what a joyous  sight to see you in your sleep.
 I believe  I'm leavin'; I'm in too deep,
 And that  seems easy enough for a man to say.
 But we would never  agree if we talked all night.
 Things are gettin'  kind of heavy. I'm travelin' light.
Goodbye  you jaded lover, you undercover  queen for a day.
 And, I can see  you are an angel, whose wings just won't unfold
Tune  up your harp; and polish your old halo.
 Yea, the only  kind of man that you ever  wanted
 Was the one  that you knew  you'd never hold  very long
Sittin'  there cryin' like I'm  the first one to go.
 Tag: You're just sittin'  there cryin' like I'm  the first one to go.
 (Spoken:) Think about it darlin.
