Boy:
Oh since you left me dear,
things they ain't been clear, you know.
Where did all our dreams go?
Girl:
Don't look hard for those dreams,
because you broke them with your own hands,
your ego-centric mind and world conquering plans
You never had time for me,
used up all your energy, too many nights I spent alone
without you picking up your phone.
Chorus:
Why can't I get through
I work to make my dreams come true
but they're empty without you.
And I can't lead a normal life, (said I)
a house three kids and a wife,
I want to leave something behind.
Girl:
Am I not enough for you?
Look into my eyes and tell me true,
because your lies cannot hide, all the madness inside.
Because you've got a lot of stuff,
but we both know you'll never get enough.
Because through the class slips the sand,
despite your world conquering plans.
Boy and Girl:
Why can't you understand,
(girl) that I ain't your woman,
because everything has turned so bland.
(girl) I wanted my lover back
(boy) your eyes give heartt attacks but
(both) oh you're hurting me so bad.
(boy) and I just want you back
(girl) but you wont treat me right
(boy) oh I just want you back
(girl) baby I don't want to fight
(girl) because you're perfect just the way you are,
no I would change a thing,
but his ain't right for me,
so I have got to leave.
Oohh
Oohh
Boy and Girl (finale):
I stay up late at night, wondering where the good times go
and though we tried, I know they're gone for sure.
I love d the time we had, I hoped it would never end
but no matter where you go, I will always send...
my love to you.
Fin.
