She told me baby listen
There’s something really missing
And I’m afraid that we just gotta talk it over

She got a big promotion
She’s moving by the ocean
She’s really happy but she’s crying on my shoulder

She’s gonna leave the city
My baby sad and pretty
I’m gonna kiss the tears they’re falling from her eyes now

Chorus:
You never know when a love’s gonna fade
You can try so hard but you never have it made
I’m not surprised that you’re going away
After all my dear the good ones never stay

The words were never spoken
She bought a subway token
My baby’s gone and now she’s leaving for the station

She left a little letter
She said it could be better
She didn’t really need to leave an explanation

She’s gotta make a living
Her job is always giving
And I ain’t gonna be the one to try and stop her

Chorus

I gotta tell you something
I’m gonna miss your loving
But baby if you gotta go then baby go now

Chorus
